I was surprised how quickly this 'galloped' If it was galloping and made a clip-clopping noise, it is probably related to a horse. Micro Equus caballus. Ray-P

Out of six shots this was the best frame. Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT (E-TTL metering, -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. I used an artificial flower to keep the background from being black. Velvet Mite by John Kimbler, on FlickrNice shot! Shooting at 3X is not easy.
