Found this woodlouse on the windowsill just outside the kitchen door yesterday sitting in it's very own raindrop. Did wonder if it had drowned but it sonn dispelled that idea when it tried to free itself.
I then blotted most of the water off it with a tissue and it settled down to allow me to do some focus stacks using zerene stacker (last 3 shots).
All 5Dmk2/MPE-65/430Ex flash upto 4:1 magnification.

    #5 is the best, like the reflection. Well done. Maybe post 3 best images because some compositions are almost the same.

    Thanks for the comments.
    The last 3 shots are really the normal shots (from different angles) the first 3 shots were to illustrate the very odd movement it made to try and free itself from the water.
