Another awesome set. I'm envious you get to see (and shoot) all that.

Awesome stuff Kurt, I enjoy everyone of your posts and even though this is a reptile forum I ALWAYS make sure to check out if you've posted anything new here. I appreciate the time you take to post so frequently, that trilobite is out of this world and I have certainly never seen a stick insect with electric blue joints. Insects were my first love as a child and continue to hold a magical place in my heart.

Yes, and yes. As I've postulated before, Kurt should have his own subforum!
