Thank you Rik for the links. I am still astounded by that Nat Geo video. I read somewhere that earwigs do approx 40 folds to their wings? Like in the video, unfolding is one thing.

Lovely photos. And agree 100% for the Otiocerus wolfii. They look fantastic!

The paper wasps photo is lovely!

Sorry for ignoring this thread. Some new photos. Some kind of a stem borer beetle. http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/835_IMG_9681_copy2_1.jpg Assassin Bug. http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/835_IMG_9684_copy2_1.jpg http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/userpix/835_IMG_9691_co...

Really like the first photo. Amazing details!

This is a stunning photo!

Lovely documentation!

Love the stance of the banana stalk fly.

Paper Wasps Video 2

The second video of the paper wasps. This time the focus is on the eggs, larva and the nest design.

The same equipment is used in this video.
