	Or this shiny guy? (dogbane leaf beetle, Bracken County, Kentucky). OK, I'll stop now. Just wanted to demonstrate I too like the little dudes, even if my skill and my camera are a few tiers down the scale. (plus I'm procrastinating on a writing project). - kypaddler

	Quote: does the same enthrallment for bugs extend to THIS creature? It would be PERFECT if it had a JIGHEAD and BARBLESS hook. The thing with all those legs, not that little bug.

	Yes, when it comes to photography, my enthrallment does extend to almost any bug (although those wormy things are harder for me to appreciate. ) I have always like this shot of a pine bark beetle.

	Spiders are fun, too.

	I spent hours one time trying to snap shots of dragonflies in flight on the shore of Kawishiwi Lake. It was borderline successful, but I probably deleted 300 images to get two. And they aren't fabulous. But it was fun. I really, really like dragonflies! I won't subject you to all of my butterfly photos. Or my praying mantises and bumblebees. This is enough.

	Westwood wrote on Jan 27^th, 2017 at 9:10pm: What I have started to do in the last few years if I intend to eat the fish is fillet the fish almost right away. I carry a fillet knife and board with me (a canoe paddle works but not as well) and find a convenient shore with an appropriate rock and fillet the fish. After the fish is filleted I put it in a plastic bag. If it is warm I will put the plastic bag in a wet cloth to help keep the fish cool. If I need two fish for dinner, I will repeat the process for the second fish. With apologies to PETA, I think it is more human to kill your fish sooner rather than later. I do the same. I've developed an aversion to having creatures suffer at my hands. Seriously. I was a teenage pellet gun hunter and hated to see (up close) rabbits and squirrels suffer from my bad shots. Same with fishing. I've accidentally killed two very large pike when I couldn't get them to recover. Call me a stupid softy but seeing fish dragged on a stringer gets to me now. I go to shore and club them hard on the head with a rock before fileting. I don't even enjoy live beheadings. Anyway, I'm loving the pics especially the close up bug ones. Sweet centipede Kypaddler! And Spartan2 I'm a big fan of your work as well.

	If no one is around close enough to see me, I have been known to pick up quickly mummifying earthworms from a hot concrete or asphalt parking lot and relocate them to the nearest piece of dirt. I am sure this is some sort of twisted penance for all of the Redworms I used as bait from the local feed store cob pile as a kid. MossBack
