Hiya All.
Don't know what to say about this tiny thing except that it was a devil to capture, it had a most peculiar movement it sorta danced a figure of eight & appeared to be shivering all the time, I guess its body was 1mm & was sat on a small Fuschia leaf, no cropping done used neat image & tweaked the contrast.
Cheers for now
Mark

Hiya Mick
No zero missing this thing was minuscule in old numbers I'd give it an 1/16 inch top whack, dont understand the techy bit but it was taken I think 12x Optical through the Raynox & then I zoomed in using the digital mag, hope that makes sense cause it means not a lot to me.
Cheers for now

Good capture- it's a moth fly (otherwise known as a drain fly).

Well spotted and captured, especially given the size (1mm!!!!) and movement.
