@wizentrop , my daughter, Kaylee, would like to know what the insect is in your profile picture.

Thank you!

It is a male hissing cockroach. In the photo it was fresh after molting, so its body was still soft and pale. I love to photograph arthropods in this stage, it shows some of their true character. In this case the cockroach with its "horns" reminded me of a cat.

We thank you for your reply

Going to browse your photograph website with her. I have a feeling I will need to invest in a better camera soon.
