Congratulations! A win for 'point-and-shoot' :-)
Wow spotting of the week! And there I was getting all sad for not having a DSLR like other spotters... the subject makes all the difference. It's really great to have one's work and passion recognised. Thank you all and thank the rangers!
Congratulaciones.
Thanks for the nomination and nice comments... I got lucky with my point and shoot!
Wonderful pictures!
point and shoot rules :)
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Awesome.
Thank you all. I do find this spotting really nice, is always interesting to find parental care on insects.

Wow fantastic !
Yes, José, Acromis sparsa! Wonderful spotting!!
Very interesting spotting Diaz and so much clarity. Would love to know what plant these were on. We find most of our leaf beetles on eucalyptus or acacia.
Amazing!
