Yep they tend to be that way lol
Don't you have some technique to let them stand still ? Or is it not to be touched ?

hawks are a bit agressive so I don't play with them too much. They aren't particularly dangerous to humans, but last time I let a wasp sting me, took 3 months to heal

I'm the wrong person to have allergy to insect bite

There, that wasn't so hard now was it??

Spuddite has only taken two days to work this out but now, inspired by Enmos and the gorgeous Brazil nut, I shall flick a few images from Aus. at ya.

These are Spotted gums Eucalyptus maculata.

 

Yup, Lamiinae are Longhorn beetles

Spring storm

 

did you take that picture? it's amazing

 

Yes, and it was one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had ( and I make sure I have plenty of those) the storm came in from the sea and went over the top of me, I knew I was getting great shots but was also a big target on the clifftop holding onto my metal tripod. My hair was literally standing on end and I'm not sure if that was the fear or the charge in the air.

 

Wow, I didn't think you did that one yourself at first. Nice.
