Tried the mpe again

I went on a trip this weekend down to Cornwall to see my new Grandson, he sleeps a lot so thought as the MPE65 has only been out once since I bought it over 6 months ago that I'd stick it on the camera and have a go out in my daughters garden. Unfortunately although the sun was out and the flowers were open there weren't many bugs about.

Done a bit of looking on the web and found it to be a Red Spider Mite, never knew that they bite you and lay their eggs in you. The eggs never develop as our immune system sees them off.

i have a case of that right now...i call it chiggars in FL...it is itchy...
(damn survey field work...lol )
lil bastards got my legs big time...

nice shots BTW!

Thanks for the reply John, it said on the web that you must try not to scrat the bite. Yeah right, I bet thats near impossible

it is impossible. i will be scratching involuntarily...lol and not know it..
and last night i woke up scratching bad...
i didnt sleep well.. im doing a bit better today!

The little red mite's legs don't look strong enough to carry it's body Nice shots though Mick

Lovely shots
