hmm. interesting yet disturbing. ---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ---------- skunkape are you sure it had bioluminescence?
I had posted something and it did not appear - perhaps the government is intervening. Anyway, I was wondering the same thing as pixel - was it glowing, and did you use a flash?
I've never heard of an owlfly, very interesting. As for the videos, somebody owes me some therapy time. I'll be having bug nightmares for sure now.
I did not use a flash. I thought I saw it light up, just as I snapped the picture, but I wasn't sure. I did do an immediate "Whoa, did that thing just flash at me?" I took it as a warning, but I suppose it is possible that it had reflective scales that caught the sun just right. Either way, it is a really cool, weird bug. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
Maybe it fell into some glitter. Or it landed on some of that reflective stuff that spray on the lines on the street.
thanks for posting it. do i win something for getting the name of the bug? here is a shot i took of bumble bee feet. i had no idea their feet have pads and claws. not an easy shot without a tripod. note the pollen sticking to him.
My camera has a little led light that it uses for the auto focus or light-metering I think. It is very noticeable indoors, but outdoors not at all. Could the insect have been catching the light from something like that?
Ain't that the bee's knees. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
