Challenge #150 in the Life in the Natural World series. Hosted by RuthC.

Challenge has finished

In this Nature Jigsaw Puzzle challenge, the subject is fauna, that is, animals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, spiders etc etc. If it lives and breathes, and is part of our natural world, it's okay for entry here. The exception will be humans, domestic pets, and birds who have lost their freedom. The entry should be a very detailed and 'busy' scene which would make an ideal jigsaw puzzle. Think 1,000 piece "drive you crazy" picture. Macro and close-ups welcome. Man-made structures should be minimal. SIZE: 1,600px MAXIMUM ON LONGER SIDE
