Close Ups - Page 8

I'd say lack of it.

we have a bunch of camel crickets in the basement. At least they don't make noise, but they are nasty. Jumping into laundry baskets, etc. Every once in a while, one will make it upstairs. Recently I decided to do something about it, so I bought a bunch of those sticky traps and just put them around on the floor. Here's the scene a couple days later.

and an overview of one of the sticky pads. I had no idea there were so many:

That is truly nasty and the close up shot makes it almost creepy! All those little bug eyes, staring, looking...

Was there much wriggling?

Cool pic, Sky -- where/what is that? How did those asymmetric, yet oddly perfect bubbles form?

You have mastered depth of field like few others. I like your photo's, please continue to post them.

Wecome to the Cellar, Pyro. You have good taste in pictures.

A janitor's mop. It wasn't pleasant to get close to.

I am but an amateur, but here is the gentle face of the feline of my heart..
My cameria is crappy, years old and only 3.2mp - im currently saving up for a DSLR a conon hopefully.. then watch out!

This was taken at South West Rocks, north NSW. A plank of wood washed up on the beach full of barnacles, i snapped this before they all let go and washed back to the sea....

skysidhe · 04-26-2006, 09:41 AM

eww glat eww Those insects!! ...they have huge eyes too.

@ pie... I found that picture someplace on the net. I don't have a 'good'camera so you'll all have to forgive me while I cheat.

glatt, you should get a few chameleons (anomalies). they eat those little buggers. just get males only so you dont have a lizard infestation.

glatt · 04-26-2006, 12:36 PM

We used to have a cat that would hunt them. We'd sometimes see a cricket leg in a hairball. That cat died a year or so ago, and the population has increased since then.

It's a little horrifying that the traps caught so many. You would see one or two when you would go down into the cellar, so I figured there were a handful down there. I'd step on them when I could. Fast buggers would hop away. The traps are clearly working though.

I just noticed last night that a trap caught 5 little baby tank bugs. You know, the ones that look like armadillos and roll up in a ball when disturbed. Caught a spider too. This could turn into a real biology experiment. I could turn it into a web page. Look what's living in glatt's-cellar.org.

We have big black w/yellow spots salamanders living in our well head. When the basement floods (there's actually a spring down there) they hang out near the washer.

Great pic of your cat Sunsparks - love the eyes!

Sounds like a good close-up to me.
