Cool!
Got one with the lights on? That might be tricky.

I was hoping it would stay on window and I would get a chance to get it with the light on. It rained and and it flew away. :thumbdown:

It a bit interesting how I managed to illuminate it. I tryed a flash and a ring light, but they caused glare in the glass. I ended up using a tiny led pen light held very close to the bug on the camera side of the widow. This tiny point source of light did not cause any glare on the window.

The pen light seemed to wake up the bug making him move away from it, but not before I took it's picture. :idea:

BTW, My local camera club is running a silly photo contest over the summer with 12 different categories. One of the categories is "rude". This photo will be entered in the rude category, because of the way the legs are spread and because of the way it's extending the middle toe on each foot. :? :twisted:

Ah. Rude bugs. I've met a few. Won't sit still for a portrait. ;-)
