These guys are the masters of disguise! They can change their color to match whatever their surroundings are. They tend to hide in flowers and wait patiently until an insect wanders by. Then they just reach out and grab their lunch.

If this isn't a winner, I'm going to complain! An absolutely brilliant capture, Jim. Looks like you can even charm the color off a Crab! #7888562Colette M. Metcalf August 26, 2009 0

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
