SLUG BUG

Best viewed large for detail.

This little slimball was so curious. I took this with my iphone and an olloclip macro lense. Every time the shutter would make a noise he would raise his head and extend his ears, eyes, antenas or whatever those things are.

I actually think he looks like an embryo of a giraffe.

Super macro shot!!Haven't studied them that closely before!!

[Greg Glasscock]

Love way it appears to be coming out of a fog. Macro is so much fun! And enjoyed your narrative.

[David]

Great shot - we seldom get to see them so close and we seldom wish to see them at all! Good for you for choosing him as a subject.

[Shirley Jess]

@carolmw @canoninholster @yrhenwr Thanks for your kind words and FAV"S on the SLUG BUG SHOT!

[Shirley Jess]

@cromwell lol, I must ask.....I am 50 and don't kids or grandkids, who is Jar-Jar Binks???? I actually thought this this slug Bug slimball looked like an embryo of a Giraff?

[Shirley Jess]

@cromwell giraffe that is.

[Cromwell]

@shirljess -- Jar-Jar Binks was a character in a Star Wars film (The Phantom Menace), and was really despised by most of the fans of the series. Not because he was evil. Because he was just so stupid (lol)!

[Shirley Jess]

@cromwell.. Now I am really laughing... I am not a star wars fan either, so now I know why I had never heard of Jar-Jar Binks! ;)

[Dawn Wilson]
