    Man, that's creepy!

    Insects in general are pretty creepy, if you stop to think about it. Good shots, esp the 1st one.

    That's cool, Bryan. I see the casings all over our yard, but in all my life, I've never seen one emerge. What a lucky "dawg" you are!

    That was my first time to see that. I used a 50mm f/1.8 AF. I love that little lens. Thanks to everyone for the nice comments. :D  :D  :D

    Great captures, Bryan! And what great timing to catch him "hatch"! :)  1st one looks straight out of "Alien". ;)

    Awesome Bryan, hard to get yard work done when the wonders of nature need to be photographed. :)

    Bryan, I have been trying all summer for a shot like these! Shells everywhere but I've yet to catch one in the act.
    That must have been cool to watch! Don't you love that little lens!
