Wow Bryan,

What a great catch. Well taken.

Man, that's creepy!

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

Excellent captures Bryan. Which lens did you use?

Leigh · Jul 23, 2005

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.

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!
