"Anther Bug"

When not magnified the bug blends perfectly with
the anther tip of the Stamen. The only reason able to see it was because I had just bought a 10 and 16 extension tubes and attached them to my 60mm macro lens and was shooting the stamens.
Hand held camera in one hand and a flashlight (torch) in the other. Ahhhh the fun of new toys!

Very clever Tom! Both the insect and you for capturing it!

[Michael Smith]

Wow! That's pretty amazing Discovery Channel type stuff. Well done!

[Candace]

Nature's way of hiding the critter's!

[Linda H.Y. Hegland]

Good stuff. If your shot had been less detailed I would have thought it was one of the stamens (I guess that is the point as far as the worm is concerned)

[Diane]

great capture!

[Joyce]

What a great capture. Enjoy your new toys Tom

[Nicole]

wonderful close up!

[Richard Sayer]

I never cease to be amazed at the oddities and curiosities that Mother Nature has created... and kudos for your skill in capturing this, Tom.

Great close-up but icky subject. Did this come with a bouquet?
