It figures, right after I get back from a week of camping and getting a few great insect shots there is an insect challenge and I can't use any of my photos
OK, I live in iceland and I have to start looking for some insects to take picture of. In 1. place we don't have so much of insects here in Iceland and in 2. place then most of them are dead at this time at year.
So this is not the best time for people in Iceland to submit in this challenge.

Yeah, but you guys just had the advantage in the desolation challenge, given your volcanic landscape. Swings and roundabouts.
Why are Icelandes complaning about lack af insects... I will post a picture af me that fits the challange. You can post picture af our presedent or Lalla Johns

Scorpions and spiders aren't insects anyway, so no loss!
I was questioning the same thing, so I checked the dictionary before considering this photo, here's the definition as I read it (and I most certainly could be mis-interpreting):
1. Any of a large group of small invertebrate animals characterized, in the adult state, by division of the body into head, thorax, and abdomen, three pairs of legs and, usually, two pairs of membranous wings: beetles, bees, flies, wasps, mosquitos, etc. are insects.
2. Popularly, any of a group of small animals, usually wingless, including spiders, centipedes, wood lice, ticks, mites, etc.
I thought spiders are arachnids which is the definition of a scorpion??
What bad timing. I have this shot I did a while back...would work well for the challenge. Maybe I can find them again and have them re-enact for me! :)
i am totally thrilled by this challenge!
Insects are my favorite things, most of my portfolio is made up of insect macros.
My last several challenges have scored so low, it is about time to get back in there.
Some of them are thisthis, and this
Terry, I'm placing my big bucks on you for a top-three finish!

I hate this challenge!!!!!!!!! how someone living in south Texas can have not a single insect in the yard is beyond me...
grrrrrrrr..
What I've learned so far. I would much rather do studio shots, I have no patience and it's probably best if forget about doing anything with live subjects...

I wouldn't mind that a bit! It won't happen...but it sounds nice. Thanks for the complement though.
My problems:
#1 I can't compete with the SLR's
#2 There are no exotic bugs in New Jersey
