They are both very exotic to me! I am in Sweden and it is very very difficult to find something interesting here! But it is a differenc kind of challenge to make average things shine :)

Thanks Tina. It reminds me of the stalk-eyed flies you found, but not as exotic.

Oh great creature, never seen such thing! :)
