Ok I'll admit it - I need better glasses :o

Took this pic this morning of what I thought was a dead bug crashed out on a wet leaf. The "body" of the bug would be about 3mm long. Head does look a bit like ET.
Think it must be part of a plant/flower/seed case :D
Anybody else got any macro "mistakes" they are willing to admit to?

Took this one this morning- thought a bug had a tiny leaf fragment stuck on it's antenna. Another frankinstein bug I think :D curtesy of a spider.

I think you're macroholic ( like me) :) :)
You see bugs everywere when you're ready with your gear :) :)
The pictures are funny and showing that you have a good sense of humor.

Thanks Jose,
You are right about the macroholic and you have to have a sense of humour to do it I think.

colour and composition and 'texture' in the first

Thanks very much Marie- Must admit thought they were at least interesting as well as being slightly funny.
