Interlude with Bugs / by Mister Tom

A short interlude in my backlog of events shoots and general camera busyness taking up all my time outside work at the moment - a most unfortunate chafer beetle having a terribly unpleasant time with biting mites or ticks (if you know the little critters please tell as I would be interested).


Taken at twilight at my house using Sig 70-300 APO on macro with Canon 430exii flashgun.


As my Dad, who identified the beetle, said: "Oh how horrid".


Enjoy.
Well,
Don't actually.




Also I am going to start adding some links to random photos I have stumbled across that interest me. 
In this one I enjoy the hint of a larger, powerful landscape glimpsed beyond the subject of interest. The angle seems to make it a cursory glance of a passer by bending low to inspect it - but makes me excited at the prospect of standing on the mountain beyond.
