Giant Carnivorous Insect

I was out walking when I heard this loud buzzing overhead. I looked up just in time to see this giant insect with mouth open ready to get me. With heart pounding, I shot it with my camera.

I was once told that in Pidgin English this is known as "Magimix belong Jesus" !!

Cool shot Vern!

It has interesting eyes and a sort of clear belly. Hmmm, I wonder if I'll find it in my book? Glad it didn't buzz you any closer than it did!

I can even see the stinger in the tail. . . .

PERFECT! Even the blades are in the perfect position!

Well done Vern, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I think they are to be avoided at all costs!
Guest 20-Apr-2010 19:51
LOL, very good Vern.

Good laugh, you were lucky it was not a military one - they really bite.

Vern,untill yesterday no such insects were allowed to fly over here!

Wow, you were lucky you had your camera to "shoot it", this type of bug is getting more common. :o)
