Rear View

Challenge #26 in the Life in the Natural World series. Hosted by RuthC.

Challenge has finished

It's the end of the year, so let's see some end views! We spend so much time trying to capture the faces and eyes of insects and spiders, that we often overlook the interesting and often colourful abdomens of these little creatures. Show us their rear view! Macro and close-up shots only. The creatures should be outside, on flowers, leaves, flying or sitting around, or just doing what they do; NOT under studio lights. SIZE: 1,600px MAXIMUM ON LONGER SIDE.

Submissions:

Saturday, 22nd December, 2012 – Friday, 28th December, 2012 (GMT)

Voting:

Saturday, 29th December, 2012 – Friday, 4th January, 2013 (GMT)

Processing rules:

SIZE: Longer side of entry, MAXIMUM 1600px.
Digital photos only, with full EXIF data.
Colour only.
No HDR.
Don't remove the background.
TITLE: Give your entry a title, not just a photo number
No watermarks or forms of identification, or personal website references.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

YES! Photos entered in previous DPR challenges MAY be used in this challenge, but I would prefer you to enter new pictures. Those "not again..." shots tend to be voted down, in my experience.
Two (2) entries per person allowed, but each entry should be a different insect or spider.
Comments of encouragement are welcome.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! If you enter the challenge, take the time to vote on other entries! This will hopefully counteract the sandbaggers' votes which spoil the genuine results for everyone's entries.
Sandbagging, and vote solicitation will cause DQ'ing of entries, so please don't contemplate it!
Entrants or voters caught cheating will be unwelcome in my future challenges.
