Default Mini Garden with Mini Critters

Rooting through the undergrowth this morning and found this little surprise. Shot with the MP-E65mm at 2:1 using diffused MT24EX twin lights.



Cheers,
Mark.

Hey thanks guys,
Yeah this guy was very small, just managed to glimpse him as I was scanning the grasses. The pinkish flowers you see are about 1/2mm across. Tiny.

Cheers,
Mark.
