Close to the border of this brook the Water scorpion was
lying on an Oak leaf, waiting for an unsuspecting prey.
The large photo was made with a flashlight, in the duller
reality the bug is much less conspicuous as you can see
on the smaller picture at right.

All pictures on this site have been made by G.H. Visser (Aadorp, Holland), unless otherwise mentioned. All rights remain with him. These photo's may not be used for other then strictly private uses. In case you want to use them for purposes including third parties, you MUST request permission, by e-mailing the author. I encourage especially those wanting to use the pictures for nature-expositions or other educative targets.
