  Hehe you may be kidding, but there are some bugs [mainly arachnids] that I'd rather shoot dead than alive =P
  
  And that's 2 for me now! I wonder if I have any other among my pictures.. I don't shoot nature as much as I'd like, but I do enjoy it and do it whenever I have the opportunity. Posted 12 years ago

  Thank you very much! Glad you like it, and yes, I have a few more shots of other dead bugs and, although a sad image sometimes when you realize it is dead, there are some interesting situations. Like this one =P Posted 12 years ago
