Nice one of the ant!

Does anyone know what this little chap is?

Photographed him in the garden last night, then later he jumped from here to the tree and then onto the wall.

Apparently it's a Garden Fence Lizard, Calotes versicolor.

Great insect photos, Anguid. You've only got 44.000,000 species to go.

I THINK that was the number National Geographic mentioned.

I mostly just take photos of aquatic insects that trout feed on. I like to copy them with fur, feathers and steel.

The giant stonefly from the Madison River. It is commonly called the "Salmon fly" because fish feed on it when it hatches.

I follow, undaunted, to post new animal pics, hoping that somebody else publish something more and make me feel less alone...

Not sure if this is a nature shot or not, but I was lucky catching this trout jumping.

[quiksilva]

Beautiful shots! Incredible detail.

[angiud]

Thank you, Quiksilva. And thanks to a good pic every 20 shots or more, 70% of time the use of a very good (and heavy!) tripod, a very good lens (sigma 150/2.8 Macro) and a couple of hours a day of bush or jungle walking (and 2 liters of sweat), a good eye to find those little #@!! bugs, some post-production with Photoshop or other software, and voila'.

You are not a photographer but you made 2 wonderful pictures.

The insect is Pyrops candelarius (often misspelled "candelaria") is a species of lantern fly that lives in Laos and Thailand, and other parts of southeast Asia. Despite their name, lantern flies do not emit light. Like all lantern flies, P. candelarius is a type of planthopper. As such it is a vegetarian. It feeds on the sap from longan and lychee trees, among others. Its long, needle shaped mouth piece is used to pierce tree bark to reach the sap.
