Hi Ram,
Outstanding macro. Got it perfect and neat. It really gives the creeps looking at it and indeed it is a nightmare for everyone. They are even worse when they fly about. Nice POV and immaculate sharp details. You have chosen a good subject today. Very nicely composed and presented. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Ram,
Very risky business here..If you're going to send monster roaches through my monitor at me, I'll just have to keep a can of raid handy ;)
Nicely done.

Hi Ram,
What an eye-caching photo! Impressive clouse-up with very good details and an outstanding composition and crop. The best way to present and describe this "biologically intelligent" insect.
BTW, here were I live we have needed expert help to kill them as all the flats was infected by them!
TFS and take care!

Another great macro from you Ram.
I've never seen a fluffy cockroach before.

Excellent work!

WOW,

what an image!
This is also the most resilient animal on the planet, pretty much lived as long as any creature there is. It was annoying dinosaurs.

Great capture and an amazing subject.

Perhaps this is where some of Hollywood's B monster movies give birth. It appears larger than life....and well, unless your REALLY into entomology, this particular combination of eyes and color give off a strange aura...

Naturally this depiction of the roach is perfecto' as so many of your pictures are. Thanks for sharing...

Hello Ram,
This is really a nightmare for every housewife. On your picture it looks even more terrible! Having this in the kitchen, I can't imagine, even if I like insects in general.
Excellent close-up, amazing sharpness, the smallest detail is visible. Thank's also for the note.
Best regards

Absolutely AMAZING detail....beautiful!
You managed to make a roach look beautiful. Yes, I still shudder thinking about it.

We forget sometimes how vital each piece of the ecosystem is. Back in the 90's when the BioDome was set up in Arizona, they left out the roaches and realized that in the section that was similar to the rain forest, they were not getting the composting effect in the dead leaves. So it became apparent that roaches are necessary. Poetic, huh?

Hi Ram,
oh this one is scary, to close for coomfort. The POV makes this look like a huge monster ;-).
Excellent work, Sharpness, colors and presentation are great.
