Computer Bug? The photographic evidence!

It's not often you get he chance to capture a computer bug on camera, but I was presented with just such an opportunity today. And yes, this does mean I carry a macro lens around with me!

Camera note: all shots were taken with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro. I struggled with my standard Canon 430EX flash unit and resorted to bouncing the light down with a piece of photocopy paper!

    They look a bit fearsome, but hoverflies just mimic wasps and don't carry a sting!

    But this bug was trying to send you e-mail. Look at the key it is trying to press 😆

    Poor little hoverfly, imagine writing an email where the keys are bigger than you! Let us know if you receive anything from it 😉

    Is it just my eyesight, or does the '@' key in the last shot not look like a pair of bug eyes and a head? :eyes: (some imagination may be required!!). This would explain the hoverfly's attraction! 😉

    Haha!:lol: Very good one:P It is a good idea to carry a camera around with you because that reduces those times where the right time but no camera handy situations.

    I wish I had a nickle for every time that happened.
    As a rule, I usually have a camera with me now.
