Lovely shot Kerrie!

love this

[Rach_who]

I like his little pose. Or is he telling you to go away?

[Kerri]

@rach_who He's telling me to go away. This is a defense mechanism. He rears up with the orange "antennae" (osmeterium) that let's off a smell to scary away predators.

Excellent shot! I was wondering why he's always "standing up" like that- interesting to read your explanation above.
