    Whoa, I love this!! What do you think that yellow stuff all over her is? Or, did you get the impression that it was just part of her? Posted 6 years ago

      Thanks :)
      I first thought it was indeed some kind of pollen, but if you zoom in close enough, you can see it comes from below her skin (or exoskeleton?), so it looks part of her. The symmetry also suggest its part of her and not some kind of parasite. That's my best theory anyway.       Posted 6 years ago

              It kind of looks like she's wearing a gas mask... Posted 6 years ago
