This poor kid has such a bug phobia. She just can not hold it together around stink bugs or spiders. She's crazy allergic to mosquitos and develops these huge baseball sized welts wherever she's bitten. After several weeks of camp, creek walking, she is covered in massive itching welts. This evening a gnat flew in her ear and she fell to the ground, covered her head with her arms and just sobbed "I just can't do it anymore. I hate them so much. I just hate them! WHY DO THEY LOVE ME SO MUCH?"
I was actually trying to shoot some lichen on this twig, when this guy wandered into the scene and demanded some attention.
I changed the formula a bit and tweaked the color and lighting settings a good deal. Mot a totally new fractal, just a light tweak, but I do like the results. Thank you, Garth, for sharing the parameters.

A new bug for my collection - a Common Sawfly (Tenthredinidae) of some kind. Sawflies and their larvae are food for various birds, such as stonechat (Saxicola) birds, partridge chicks, nestling corn buntings, Black grouse chicks, and chestnut-backed chickadees, according to wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawfly
