My New (Un-)Friend — Photo 41 — Project 365

I went rambling through the bushes and brought home a visitor that I quickly dispatched. But first, he turned into my photo subject. As a photo subject, a bug of this size is incredibly hard to shoot — the distance between in and out of focus is a matter of millimetres. Some of my other bug pictures haven’t turned out because I can’t hold still enough! It doesn’t help either that it is near impossible to tell on the camera screen whether something this small is in focus either. But I have a winner here!
