Neat that its tiny Buddy got recorded as well.  -Bruce I havent captured that much detail in the proboscis (or tongue) before - maybe the Sto-fen flash diffuser I bought is making a difference. Toby

I feel inspired to delve into macro too. So, once again, photography has helped me open my eyes to another aspect of the big, wide world. Balliolman
