This is a Cairns Birdwing, they are hard to get because they tend to flit from one spot to another, not resting for more then a second or so. Tim

Bianca-

This is my entry, entitled 'Peek-A-Boo', for the macro contest. I caught this praying mantis by surprise.

Steven Love 19 Jul 2007

Thank you, Bianca. Just to let you know I took this with my Olympus E500 using a 45mm lens in "Sports" mode. Unlike Macro Mode Sports mode has a slightly higher shutter speed to eliminate motion blur while still giving me good exposure and color.

It was taken late in the day near sunset. I took it at an angle so the sun would backlight the Cicada's wings.

I used Photoshop to adjust the contrast. No other modifications were made.

Hope that answers any questions others may have about the photo.

Thanks again, Bianca.
