~Calvatomina On Ice~
A juvenile Calvatomina nr superba on a frozen leaf, I had almost given up on getting a stack of one of these, but I was photographing this one as it was ambling around and then it stopped still and I managed a 3 image handheld focus stack at F/7.1 at x7 magnification before it started moving again, I didn't dare widen the aperture and go for a deeper stack as it was a one off chance I did not want to miss. These guys seem to be constantly active even in such cold conditions. I really liked the sparkly bokeh here as well :o)
This little one is a female and was just less than 1mm in length, the shorter antennae and size suggest a juvenile :o)
