Sad Weevil - _TNY_8848S2
I initially mistook this quite small weevil on a bramble leaf for a speck of dirt. Really close inspection through the lens revealed it as a small weevil and looking at it on the monitor, I have managed to identify it as a Cionus hortulanus.
It wasn't moving around much, enabling me to get two shots with different focus and stack them together using Zerene Stacker.
To me, it looks quite sad in this shot - perhaps because it is on a bramble leaf and not on a leaf of a mullein which I understand is what they prefer. I know that my mother-in-law have that plant in a different part of her garden.
For a shot of that mullein which is a very beutiful flower, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/24894854177/
