Lovely set Dave
I assume that that the apparent extra "eyes" on the thick thighed beetle are a deterrent mechanism

Extra eyes ? do you mean the knees or thighs further down the body ? it only has one set of eyes that I know of.
Thick thighed beetle or sometimes called thick legged or thick kneed beetle.

I think he means the effect of the light on the leg. I don't know if that is real or a trick of the flash.
Saying that in bright light it might be there.

Hence eyes in "" Rather like other creatures that have markings resembling large eyes to deter predators.
