these are truly royal colors!!
Oh yes, MArtin, it is. I was very lucky to get this view. Most insects turn their back to me, when I aproach them. What makes sense, when you may need to get out fast, it is better to go AWAY from the threat, not into its mouth... :-)
This one is rather special isn't it!
muy linda!
