After some railways were dismantled, a nature trail was left behind.
Not really rich in macro life except the common bugs...then saw this bug resting on a grass blade.
Gingerly clamped a green printout behind the grass blade, then proceeded to shoot this buggie handhold.
Soon it went to the other side of the grass to avoid the flash light.
Comments or id welcomed.

No clue what this is! Very interesting looking fellow...Does it have antennae or are those front appendages both arms? Nice & sharp, & nice find!

Thanks Eirini and David.

Eirini the front 2 appendages are legs I suppose and the antennae are tucked away and hidden near the eyes.

Hi

Well certainly a good / fine shot of a very strange looking fellow – and I have no idea about an ID

All the best
Matthew
