crittergu Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Wow that is an awesome photo. Agreed on giganteus. Almost certainly staged though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I believe it, when it's warm they will fly. But it could be staged meaning it's a captive roach with a natural looking background. (possibly a studio) But it's no lie that they can fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crittergu Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 photographer could have also put the roach up on high point and then coaxed it to jump for the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenKrieger Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Easiest way to stage something like that in my opinion is to pose a dead specimen then superimpose that onto a background photo that's been blurred. With that kind of depth-of-field, that would be an EXTREMELY lucky shot with a live animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
