PN SUBRAMANIAN: I took this picture at Dakshina Chitra, on ECR, Chennai. I nearly stamped on it...it was camouflaged on the steps very well! It has already lost/broke one horn!
KPARTHASARATHY: Yes, it was camouflaged very well. I and my friend, noticed it accidentally. Then started clicking!
SUJATHA SATHYA: Isn't it beautiful. We bent down and admired for a long time before clicking! I took it in a paper and placed in the sand in a corner so that no one stamped on it. Lovely creature!
DESTINATION INFINITY: I don't like flying things flying near my face, even mosquitoes! Yuck!
BK CHOWLA: Thank you, Chowlaji!
KANAGU: Thank you, I took it from my mobile camera! It looks lovely, isn't it?!
Hi Sandhya! I'm so sorry to barge in on your post with an unrelated query, but I noticed you commented on a post saying you had been to a wedding on the theosophical society campus? I wanted to ask you about that. If you could send me your email Id or email me at superme_in (at) yahoo (dot) com, I would really appreciate it! I look forward to hearing from you!
whem I saw it, I thought it's a spider. Spiders fascinate me. May be bcz I grew up watching spiderman and I always wanted to be the one. I still want to :p But I think it is not a spider :( Nevertheless beautiful pic.... Love the clarity :) :)
INDIAN HOME MAKER: As I had written in the earlier replies, I would have missed it if it hadn't moved a bit! It blended with the surroundings beautifully!
GUARDED ANONYMITY: I had attended the wedding some 17-18 years back and I don't remember anything else about it.
RAMESH: Thank you, Ramesh!
PRASOON: Welcome to my blog, Prasoon!
It is a sort of beetle, I think.
Spiderman? Everybody, even I, dream about being a spiderman!
I still remember the insect! It was sitting/slowly moving on the steps. I must have been looking at the ground while stepping down. Otherwise it wouldn't have been visible. Blended with the surroundings!
Superb. I loved the brilliant colors which have come so well. Once I captured a very colorful spider with similar colors.

I am ok with any insect as long as they don't fly. I am afraid of 'flying insects'.
