Photos of Reptiles and Insects by Yvonne van der Mey

These animals are only really appreciated by a small group of people, eventhough most people do really appreciate the beauty of Dragonflies and Butterflies. Most of the reptiles that you find are truely African-style, large and dangerous. The Nile Crocodile especially gives most people the creeps.

In Africa it is a pretty hard job to take photographs of these animals. You have to get very close, which means that you have to be on foot. And most of the time you can't, because you are in "Big Five Country". So you're dependent on the creatures that you see in the Camps, but since we are out in the Bush practically all day ... Hope you enjoy these photographs anyway.
