Weekly Photo Challenge: Hands
In Indonesia I’ve discovered the beauty of showing scale through the use of my hands. There are plenty of super-sized creepy crawlies here and so my hands have made many guest appearances in order to give the viewer a better idea of size.




The top bug (the one in the ball) is a giant pill millipede.
Yeah, I love these guys! I really wanted a photo of him not curled up but the guys who I was climbing with were too quick to poke him and make him roll into a ball! (Back home we call these bugs that curl up “potato bugs” even though they have nothing to do with potatoes…they don’t even feed on them!)
Bugs sure are supersized there. I wish I could see them in person. Critters are so interesting! I guess we know where Duane gets his love of bugs from.
I found a giant centipede in my shower last night, I am starting to be ready for the large creepy crawlers to NOT be in my house! (But you are right, aside from the scary centipedes, I also love the critters. It must be genetic).
Yuck !!! I could never get used to bugs. I don’t even like the “smaller” ones in Michigan.
They are definitely just part of life here…though I will never get used to the giant centipedes. They are just plain creepy!
