Hi Thor

Well done. Like you, squash first think about it later. Nevertheless, this is a really good shot of this little pest. the white background and perfect exposure really brings out some fine detail on this inect.
A good composition considering the environment you found it in. TFS

Hi Thorsten.
I never go to bathroom with camera :). However, close-up is simply great. Details of the insect are fantastic and exposure of the image are superb. Even floor is exposed perfectly and we can see various shades. Precise work. My kind regards.
Alexei.

Hi Thorsten,
ich hab' schon öfter den Namen gehört und meine auch sie schon mal flitzen gesehen zu haben, aber so nahe - wow, jetzt sieht man erst woher es den ersten Teil des Namens hat.
Wirklich silbern, tolles Bild, sehr interessant, Danke

Hi Thorsten

I think the loudest I ever heard a man scream was when one of these little rascals climbed into my uncles ear. Apparently it wedged itself against my uncle's eardrum and a doctor tried to remove it (piece-by-piece), but eventually he had to wash it out with warm water. It was also found to have caused some blistering inside my uncle's, but how or why this occurred we never found out. I was only a child, but I remember that scream so well, and from that day I treated these devils the same way as you described, "underneath my shoe". Today I'm an avid book collector so obviously I don't like to see these guys around, for the damage they can cause to book pages, binders or covers.

You captured this one with good, sharp details. It stands out well on the white surface and one can clearly see all the features of the little insect.

Good work MF and TFS.
Regards
Loot

"Dear" Thorsten,
We just got back from Haifa, Israel; trying to catch up.... the sleep, I mean.
Used to see these fellows a lot in Ontario.... not here, in Alberta.
GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY WORK!!! Loved the notes.
Most "most" friendly greetings,
Mario.
