 amazing that an insect can give the appearance of confusion in such a human way ..
i think it's a damselfly .. very small .. less than 1cm or 1/2" ..
i'm taking a huge gamble submitting this in a master's free study considering the amazing photographs that will be entered .. i'm hoping for better than 6.1 ..
i think the saying is originally from Samuel Goldwyn ..

LOL, what a great capture and a perfect title to go with it! You are the queen of the bug shots --- the detail in the eyes is fantastic!

I'm starting to see you're a bug person Roz. ;[ This one's a fantastic shot that shows his eyes beautifully. That pose is awesome, one in a million. Congrats on your finish in this tough challenge.

Damselflies are fun to shoot. I wish we got just a bit more detail in the eyes, but that's probably your lens and not your fault. The colors are briliant. The "scratching arm" is a neat touch. 7

good focus, nice capture. too saturated for my taste, the border distracts.
