Funny how a creature that spends its life in excrement, can look so good.

the shutter speed varies depending on the subject and weather janie,but for this one the settings were this



exposure time.......1/500

ISO speed.....400

f-stop.....f/8

shot at a distance of 35mm using the 60mm macro and a +4 filter

the settings are only half of it too,on a bright sunny day insects tend to move alot but yesterday was overcast and ready to rain,so he was a little subdued and easier to get close too
