These images are the courtesy of a friend in Pakistan. I didn't try to discover if he loves photography, but I am sure that these are awesome captures. This would definitely amaze anyone like me; anyone living in a place where you waste 2 hours of planning after seeing a couple of dead cockroaches around the kitchen cabinets :p

I recently saw exactly the same insect sitting on my car's window which fascinated me so much that i also took a couple snaps of it. I live in Michigan. What a beautiful creature i thought it was. Then couple days later i saw a moth like it was also a leaf but you know how the ones become after falling to the ground in fall, it was brown and it looked like a dry leaf but sure was not a leaf.
