2011 Fave Macro Images

[orionmystery]

Created using BigHugeLabs' Mosaic Maker.

It's been a good year. I only realized I found 5 new species (to me) of lantern bugs this year after going through the whole year's images. I had also managed to cross off a few insects/arthropods from my wish list, such as mantisfly, lacewing, owlfly, jewel wasp. The unexpected finds in Maliau Basin like the violin beetle, jewel beetle and dead leaf mantis are wonderful surprises too!

All in all, it's been a great year!

I tried to paste the links to individual images here but it didn't work. You can find it here though: 2011 Fave Macro Images | Up Close with Nature

Kurt, have you considered making a book for your years' favorites? Thats what I do and I have a new coffee table book (for my table in the livingroom) every year.

I'm totally jealous of the access you have to all these exotic bugs... I need to move... at least for the winter. All the bugs are hiding.

Really nice images you have here!

Very cool mosaic. :thumbup: It would be doubly sweet if they actually linked to the full size images.

Thanks FG. No plan to do so yet.

Always find your shots great to look at - both impressive and inspriational and, like Mish, can't wait to see what more you can find
