Yeah they're certainly well decked out to do their hunting and killing
business, but they also seem relatively perceptive, noticing things that
go on around them. Lots of people like this in an insect, it's probably
an anthropomorphism thing.

(-: Cheers. I was experimenting with a flash setup that consisted of a
sheet of printing paper curled around the front of the flash for a
soft-lighting effect. Quite effective in this case, I was able to get it
directional enough while avoiding deep shadows.
Cheers,
David
