Thx Roz! Great to get kudo's from you, the bug master, or is that "Mistress of Macro"? :) By no means your quality and I was shocked (but nonetheless excited) to see it get a HM, especially as so many shots after mine were far more a-typical "Square Crop"

You are a really lousy score prognosticator!! Fabulous bug macro. He really looks devious :-) Congrats on the front page.
