Hi Gang

This is a Jadera. The proboscis is extremely long. How would you like to

Better results with oblique lighting to expose more dimensionality.

This is excellent. I really like the rendering of the textures.

Why thank you!

I find those "eye" looking structures on the side of the abdomen interesting.

I think you're looking at spiracles -- breathing holes where tracheae exchange air with the outside.
