Thank you again, sintija :)
woops, I also saw it on BBC - "Life" (BBC TV series) :)
I can't even look for it, they don't live in my country! So I can only enjoy pictures that are made by others! :)
Great that you found it!! :)
Thank you sintija.valucka!
I didn't know it until see BBC video too. Then I was looking for much, but it was finally discovered recently. Lucky!
Marta, these are really stalks with eyes at the end! :D
though they do resemble antennae! :)
Great spotting!!! I have only seen them on Discovery channel! :)
Thank you Marta!
Wow! look at those antennae!
Thank you Karen and Jolly!
Very nice capture. You can even see the halteres common on flies in the second picture.
Fabulous series Toshimi!
