Beautiful insects & sharp, well exposed photographs! You are to be congratulated on that! One question though: Why is it that you refer to these insects as rare?

Thanks. It was the first time I'd come across these, and that was in tropical rainforest. You wouldn't call them common, would you?

Well they would be rare for us Americans, but how rare are they where you live phark?

They're fairly rare here as well; like I said, it was the first time I'd seen them.

Well, they sure would be rare over here in the states! I was just wondering about their rarity there in Singapore. I still really like your shots!

You didn't, no worries.

Yep. It was the first time I'd seen such a fancy one as well.
