thanks for the compliment, although I was lucky with the light and, in
any case, providing the insect doesn't scoot, it's almost impossible
to fail a close-up with a point and shoot in macro mode - I'm sure you
know.

As I was getting the camera out of its case, I watched it move its
head around. Fascinating, almost like a mechanical joint.
