Caught this little guy today at work. I haven't seen one in years.

A little more to read here.

Well done, Matt! You're right, I haven't seen these for years and I'm a LOT older than you so I haven't seen them for a lot longer than you! (Does that make sense?) :smile:

Nevertheless, good shot with nice lighting and good DOF.

yea David it makes sense to me, don't tell anyone but I used the flash.

A fine shot. Looks like you used a bit of flash to very good effect.

the flash was mainly to keep him still, this little guy is quick. One shot I took he was completely gone when the mirror opened but he was sharp in the shot.

I see these scurrying about not infrequently. They are indeed tough little suckers to get an image of much less one as fine as this one.

Nice catch!

Thanks Charles, my friend in Saline County sees these all the time. Seems weird, I'm no that far from there.

Thanks Lon

This guy is really cool. Well done on the natural looking flash.
