Little critter

ziggy53

I almost didn't post this because, well ..., it's not that great. Oh well.

I found this little bug on the curtains in my kitchen and transfered it to a paper plate for the photos. I took maybe a dozen images from the side and selected the best 8-9 for manual compositing. The little tike was moving pretty much the whole time so it was a challenge.

I was about to try to re-orient the bug to get some "face" shots but it decided it was time to fly, so I convinced it not to (by tapping the plate) and then took it outdoors and let it go.

It was just a bit larger than a grain of rice. Shot using the microscope objective. Approximately 7X lifesize and cropped.

Good try Ziggy - doesn't help if the bug is moving
Looks like the microscope objective works well.

Thanks Bob. I think the little critter's face would have been nice, but it was getting too agitated to try.
