I've been wanting to get some good pics of these guys for quite a while now. About 4 years ago, I had some in my bathroom sink drain, but got rid of them. This was before I had decent photographic equipment.

Now, I can't find the little critters anywhere. But - to paraphrase Arnold - "They'll be back!"

This is a ridiculously good photograph. In millimeters, what length, wingtip to wingtip?

Very sharp photo, good job; now when I'm getting shaved in the morning, I have one eye on the mirror and the other on the drain.
