Glad to hear no animals were hurt, Bob :-). I like those attraction rays emanating from the zapper.--Frank

Now you are cooking!
Looking directly into a light is a problem for some and you used it to your advantage to add attraction rays and life to your shot.
Well done
Tom

Thanks Tom!

I used f/13 ISO 1600 78mm with 2sec shutter speed.
This is a really neat place for me to experiment with my camera, try different settings, get different effects and do things I'd never think about.

Thanks Frank!

I got thinking that bugs have rights too! So, better throw in that disclaimer!

Neat subject and colors; the attraction rays are very cool! This could have been titled 'Fatal Attraction' , but yours is the nice, censored version for the little kids--cute. :-)

Thanks Beverly!
You're right "Fatal Attraction" would be a better title.

Nice, kind of a cosmic ray glow to it, with interesting concentric rings.

Thanks Julian. It took a lot of experimenting. Working with the ligh was a challenge. When I saw the rings showing up, I thought it would be cool just to keep them.

Thanks!
I wanted it to look like something that was hypnotic and luring to bugs. The rings kindda produced that effect nicely.

Absolutely perfect for this WA, Bob. You did a great job capturing the 'deadly' bug attraction, and I love the rings, too! Super!
