This is a hex spinner on a log at the edge of an impoundment. A thunderstorm was developing above.

Thanks for looking!

Very clever use of the Wide angle lens using its close distance magnification. Love the attentive pose of the insect and how the light shines through its body.

My what a long tail it has! Excellent light and wide-angle perspective on the scene.

Hi

I think you should rename this "reach for the sky"

A smashing wide angle approach and image

All the best

Love the wide angle - and what a pose! Looks like its paying homage to the sun god.
