A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I won't lie, there's just a little bit of post to make it pop and wash a little of the green out, but not very much. I always enjoy the two or three weeks these trees are in bloom. Thanks for the comment, I really like your sightings, I'm a diver myself but haven't combined it with photography much. Your stuff is great.
They use that chitinous blade on their "foot" for defense and moving around. When you pick them up they try to lash out at you with it. Don't know if this is the exact species but it looks right and makes sense. :)
