Such wonderful detail with soft lighting and colour. This delicate creature adorns its host like a beautiful necklace.

What a seriously perfect shot you have made! Exquisite, wonderful use of depth of field, and it tells a great story!

That is truly an ‘amazing little creature’. Slight, seemingly insignificant little being, yet necessary to the entire grand scheme. This is an incredible shot!

Wow this is a good picture; it is very difficult to get the right depth of field but you have succeeded.

A stunning image indeed.

Can I just confirm that the blue ‘eyes’ are not in fact its eyes at all just colouration on its tail, its eyes will be at the other end where its antennae are – probably to act as some sort of decoy or some way to confuse it prey or enemies..
