I played with dinky toys when I was a kid
This little Thai lad was playing with this bug as if it was a toy . I have never seen one of these before really strong .
Another story about the local kids .. They used to play with the dragon flies , by tying cotton to them and letting them fly around like a remote control car .... I know its cruel by our standards but also very creative for a poor kid .

Some bug and a lovely shot with the young lad. You are drawn to the bugs and the lad's eyes.

Really like this shot esp the way the young lad's eyes are focussed.
