I forgot to add in the description that the blobs on the head and pronotum are water droplets - not some weird anatomical feature!

Cracking shot nutmeg, you've absolutely nailed the exposure on this one!

Thanks Bruce - I'm pleased how it turned out, but for a record shot I wish I'd noticed the water droplets and the bit of plant debris and removed them
