Although most of these pictures make me throw up inside my mouth a little, I can't stop watching.

Beautiful photos.
I find them very educational, but half of the time I have no idea what insect I'm looking at.
But I really would like to know.
Would it be possible for you to name some of them?

Thank you Bloodrayne!  

As for your request, please stand by.................

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
I really appreciate this.


Judging by your forum name, I presume you are familiar with McFarlane toys?
Do you remember the motorcycle series called: "Nitro Riders"?
The pictures of the Swamp Cicadas remind me of Nitro Rider Green Vapor.

You are welcome Bloodrayne!  

I do remember the Nitro Riders and never really thought of THAT comparison before?!  Hmm?  How interesting.

It's funny that you mention McFarlane.  That is where my board name or "alias" originated.  I was both a McFarlane collector back in the 90s and a member of the Spawn Board.  I used to buy his "Movie Maniacs" line and later "Halo" series when I was still a gamer.

Since I'm a fan of American Football (NFL) and a life long fan of the Minnesota Vikings (thanks to my deceased father who was from the state of Minnesota), I picked "Viking Spawn" as my alter-ego and it has stuck with me ever since.

Now if only they would win ONE Super Bowl before I die THAT would be fantastic!  

It is a micro walk with your beautiful photos Fantastic!

Very interesting photos.

I was a member of the original Spawn Board a long, long time ago as well. I was a vivid dragon and Spawn collector.
Ah, the good old days.

Tell me that bike of Green Vapor doesn't remind you of a swamp Cicade? Or is it just me?
.....It is probably just me....

Simone gave you a good idea, it is also much more exciting for me to know what I am seeing. Great pictures!
