Thank you. They are actually one of my favorites.

Their camouflage is almost unreal, but (once you find one) they make great subjects because (being an ambush predator) they sit perfectly still so you can get great natural light shots with them.

(Unlike jumpers, which fidget and re-position themselves every milli-second :)

Reminds me of a mini-king on his throne :D
