Phone Friend, Pt. 2 - _TNY_0827
With April of 2021 being the coldest on record here for the last fifteen years or so, I was positively aching to get out and try the then new camera out.
In early May I had some spare time and the weather was nice for a change so I headed out to the Paradiset nature reserve to see what I could find. Not much was out and about yet, but then I got a phone call from my wife so stopped to talk to her.
While talking I noticed something moving on a low tree branch and it turned out to be this Polydrusus pilosus weevil! I kept an eye on it while finishing our call before switching lenses to the MP-E65 and then shot this and a couple more of it at 3.3:1 magnification.
