Oh wow, Howard, that is great! I feel like I need to ask for your autograph before the lines get long! I hate lines! You should be very well pleased. It is a great shot.

Wow, Howard, that's quite a bug, especially that "nose" and the two antennae hanging off the nose. The color matching with the background is great as well.

Congratulations, Howard! This is new for me, very interesting antennae. The color and texture match between the weevil and the background. The posture of crossing the line is a nice touch.

Congratulations Howard. The color and textures here are superb. Interesting that the weevil has lost a hind leg somewhere in the process and is still going strong. This little bug and it's kin have caused millions of dollars of loss for the cotton industry over the years.
