Nope, won't forget that one!
Every spotting has its story, but I'm sure this one will never be forgotten ha ha
Thank you Luis! It was a handheld macro shot...one foot was 8" deep in the mud and the other foot on top of a log full of very large bullet ants. One of the ants got me good, caused me to leap, and the mud sucked my shoe off! I got the shoe back and high-tailed it out of there!
This is a great shot.
Glad you enjoyed it Tibi! Thanks extreme!
That is very weird looking
OMG... what a species!
