a day into voting and this has been all over the place ..
first vote was a 4 ..
after 10 votes - 4.9
the next day i'd gone up to 6.2 ..
i think i'm getting marked down because its obviously a bug .. but because not everyone can pick the insect then i reckon it fits the challenge ..
someone thought it might be a bee and someone thought it was a bug's behind ..

European wasp, cockroach, beetle, grasshopper, locust ..
so i've succeeded in puzzling some ppl even tho a few guessed it was a dragonfly ..
oh .. and dragonflies dont really have lips ..

Not exactly a stumper. And bugs are a dime a dozen around here. Still, it is very well imagined, captured, and presented. It takes quite a lot of sill to pull this off and your execution was flawless! Nice work.
Well it is either a grasshopper or dragonfly. Love the tones, color and composition even the little droplet of water under the branch. Really nice photl.
I told someone today, "At least we won't have too see a bunch of bug head photos in the mystery macro challenge." :-) Still this is a damn fine bug photo. 8
