Look closely to see the legs of this bug, disguised as a piece of fluff. I'll post a link to a video of it walking in the forum after the voting.

Interesting presentation of a curious creature. Consider retouching out some or all of the brightly-colored and distracting background plants.

An interesting insect to be sure, but it doesn't translate so well to an interesting image.

A different aperture to get the entire bug in focus would have been better. Still, a great find of an unusual insect!
