Bhoggy, you must have been keeping this to one said especially for the competition....it's a cracker! Very unusual insect for me - can't think I have seen one of these, how big is it?

I saw these mentioned in the BBC Wildlife mag in August; this is a lovely example :t:

Wow!! love this shot Bhoggy, great colours and composure of the beatle. Also reminds me of an album cover from the 80's band Praying Mantis!!
