Saw this tiny black bug (read: boring

) about 3-4mm long on a leaf...i was bored so i peeped at it through the MPE...turned out to be a black but nice looking weevil. It tried to take off ...and this was what happened

Excellent capture- not sure if it's got in a tangle or it's just caught as it unfolds it's wings ?

Great shot, love the action. It also seems to have something attached just behind the front left leg.

Wow!
Methinks it's unfolding wings upon takeoff.

Thanks, Zichar. Yes, it was taking off. Lifted the elytra (hard case) before it could open up the hind wings.

You sure have got some strange bugs, there, Kurt.

And yes, even your bugs have got bugs!

I like the added canvas version.

I like both versions. Lovely detail. I'm a new shooter. Can you describe how you took this shot? What was your lighting?

thanks, Chris
