Viscous, I can't believe you meant to have roaches on your hand
Lol, they're not that bad. I breed these guys to feed my lizards. They give birth to live young and they don't stink unlike crickets. Plus because they're a tropical species, if any happen to escape they'll die in a few hours (they have to be kept around 80-90 F). I just can't get Jinkz to warm up to them, sigh.
how about some more. here are some aphids destroying my gymnocorinis. why do they come in so many colors?
Here's some of mine, all taken with my Olympus FE-210 (7.1mp) on the super-macro setting.
A beautiful bee:
A greedy spider working on his third bee:
A dead moth that I thought was beautiful regardless:
An empty pine beetle husk:
And another preying mantis...he's boxing in this one

And in this one it's the hula:

Very nice! BTW your 'pine beetle husk' is actually from a cicada.
Here are some from a local swamp:
Burrowing crayfish, out prowling on a rainy day
Flower beetle on goldenrod
Meadow katydid trying to hide from the paparazzi
Planthopper
Little brown scorpion
Paper wasp
Ailanthus webworm moth
Fishing spider nursery web
And a subadult six-spotted fishing spider crawling through Bidens tripartita

My bad, that's what my mom calls them because the adults live in the Ponderosa pines near her place. I had asked her about it at the time (because I didn't think cicadas live so far north but that's also what it looked like to me) and she said they were related, but not the same insect. After a google, you're right. So much for listening to Mom on bugs 
Love your crayfish!
Love your crayfish!Some really GREAT pics on here!
Here is one of my sister's "pets", a tarantula :eek3:
Took these a few years ago. She still has her, I guess they live like 20 years!! Didn't know if these were allowed because I took them back in 05 with my older camera. I still have this camera it is a Nikon coolpix
Kinda cheating since she is in captivity :grinyes:

Mantis hatchling
I'll go through some of my phots to see if t6here is anything noteworhy to add later, but if "pets" count, I have a bunch of photos from when I was keepingexotic tarantulas and other arachnids on my geocities web page. Unfortunately, it's in a shambles right now pending a rebuild so I'll link to it on my profile at a later date. This was taken with a simple Fuji on macro mode.
