An amazing spotting, nature itself is amazing. I think the day we stopped being surprised by it will be a very sad day indeed. Great photos, thanks for sharing!
Both of you always do great comments Thanks.
"I am agree with you, both, Jonathan and Ashish!"
Jonathan you speak from my heart.
Nature is made Human to understand it, study it, protect it..!!
If damaged Nature...vanish Humans one day like it did with Dinosaurs..!!
Nature has always inspired us, so it may happens
I feel as though someday we might see that reproduced in a movie for some alien or something.
looks very robotic.. just in time for Transformers ;-)
thnx
Wow, now that's one shiny body armor! I'm guessing that it helps reflect heat? Great shot, Jonathan, and congrats on the Spotting Of The Day!

wow!
WOW.. What a great camouflage!
I knew it was going to be something really interesting..
Good question, Jonathan. (I'm surprised no asked sooner.) The name "Geodialist" is a synthesis of my interests in geocaching and sundialing. In 2004, I was the leader of a team that built and maintained a type of sundial called an "EarthDial." Geo also means Earth -- it wasn't a big stretch to morph EarthDial into Geodial, and my geocaching username was born!
