What he says. A really 'clean' shot.
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

What's happened to its legs/antennae?
SteveH!

Some people call me 'strange'.
I prefer 'unconventional'.
But I'm willing to compromise and accept 'eccentric'.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thanks, all, for your kind remarks.

This creature holds its head, eyes & antennae quite "tucked-in" to & under, its thorax, so an image showing these would be quite a different view.
In death, its legs all crumple up together & consequently don't show in this picture.


(And, it's frit!)

Roger.

Ah, fair enough. The one I managed to get an almost decent pic of (using my little Lumix) was very much alive. Nifty little mover it was too!

The detail is impressive!

It's a very photogenic little critter
