These two guys were walking on the roads in the hills near where I live, unfortuantely I forgot to hit macro the lens so didn't get the depth of field I needed, not all legs are in focus.

A Village 30 miles north of here has a festival every October to celebrate these things, there are literally hundreds of them all running around to find mates in late autumn. I wasn't brave enough to climb from teh car to get these

The festival of getting NO WHERE NEAR CALIFORNIA sounds like a beautiful thing.
Those things look like they could eat cars, so I'm just glad you're still alive. Camera: Nikon D70 Level: Eager Amateur Area of speciality: Sceneries Area of Learning: Portraiture

 Th eYellow line on the first one is around 4 inches across... give a sense of scale.
