Hahah, yea as a molecular biologist I have to do some experiments on it but I guess as a chemist you know better if it's real or a myth :)

Isn't this some type of Lytta vesicatoria, Spanish fly?? I am sure there are a lot of people in Noah who knows a lot of that species :)

Sam, my camera is not professional, it's a Samsung.

What camera do you have Sckel?

Sam10 is right, Sometimes my lens also can't focus if it's too small or moving which it's always moving such a windy country :)

Its all to do with aperture and depth of field. :)

For this beautiful green background. My photographic camera does not focus on the insect if it does not have a background next to the insect.
