Playing Dead - _TNY_1249S3
While visiting a couple of our friends, my son came running to tell me found this little guy on the garden trampoline.
At first it was playing dead (hence the weird leg position here) as it probably didn't like being bounced around on that trampoline, but after a while on my hand it figured out the coast was clear and got back on all six again. A shot of it "back from the dead" can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51245754685/
This is a large pine weevil (Hylobius abietis) and a three exposure focus stack to add a little extra depth of field - The hairs/scales/whatever came out pretty crisp, right?
