~The Chances Of Anything Coming From Mars~
I see these Mites a lot on my macro forays and I thought that as they don't seem to move much I'd try a stack. I managed a 25 image handheld focus stack with this guy. I thought things don't get much more alien looking than these guys, hence the "War Of The Worlds" reference in the title, I could just imagine these looming menacingly over cities and letting loose their death rays on the populace.
I'm not 100% sure on ID, the closest I have found is Damaeus (Adamaeus) onustus an Oribatid Mite, I see some without the camouflage, but this one has camouflaged itself with sediment and dirt, I'm not sure but it looks like there might be a Collembola shed skin added to the camouflage.
Sorry I've not been on Flickr for the past week, will endeavour to catch up over the next few days, I do have some new stacks to process. Also off to the NEC tomorrow for FOCUS on imaging :o)
