I added this to my collection last Sunday and I have been eagerly awaiting #FossilFriday to show it off. The fantastical Comura bultyncki, one of the most iconic of the #Devonian trilobites from #Morroco. #fossil #prehistoric #trilobite

Africa has a huge array of absolutely stunning mantids, here the beautiful Chlidonoptera lestoni, one of several flower mimics there.

A mantis eating lunch while riding their trusty stick insect steed. A stage photo for fun I took several years ago. #wildlife #exoticpet #nature #macro #stickbug #mantis #preyingmantis #insect #bugsky

Orthomeria pandora "Laguna" hatchling. Very unusually behaved phasmids, they react just at the mere sight of you and run around very fast, quite erractic for stick insects. #wildlife #nature #macro #photography #stickinsect #stickbug #phasmid #insect

Zonocerus variegatus, a stunningly marked species from Africa, they'll have quite the transformation in colour when maturing. #bugsky #wildlife #invertebrate #cricket #grasshopper #insect

A lovely green/gold Lamprima adolphinae male, the purple hues show more at certain angles. #bugsky #insects #beetles #coleoptera #wildlife #nature #macro

Marmessoidea sp. "Cat Tien" is a rather skittish species, firing its defensive spray at the slightest disturbance. Their lovely colouration more than makes up for it though. #phasmid #stickbug #stick #insect #macro #nature #wildlife #bugsky

Calvisia marmorata "Mulu", the incredible adult colouration constrats their brilliant camouflage as nymphs. #wildlife #nature #macro #photography #stickinsect #stickbug #phasmid #insect

A juvenile African hawk-eagle, Aquila spilogaster. A relatively small member of the booted eagle family. Juveniles have this lovely golden brown almost toasted hue while adults are almost black and white with a mottled chest. #falconry #raptor #birdsofprey #birds #wildlife #nature #eagle

A handful of female New Guinea stag beetles, Lamprima adolphinae. Sometimes called the Juwel Stag beetles for their iridescence and highly variable colour morphs. #bugsky #insects #coeloptera #beetles #nature #beetle #breeding

An adult male Copiphora gracilis resting on a leaf. What he lacks in size he more than made up in attitude, quite an aggressive species. #grasshopper #cricket #bugsky #katydid #insect #nature #macro

Solygia sulcatifrons is a ginormous species from West Africa. I was fortunate enough to have this one several years ago. #bugsky #mantis #prayingmantis #preyingmantis #insects #nature #macro
