User's notes
This active little insect was around 1mm in overall length as can be seen from the 4mm matchhead in the first image. The insect's head end is the pointy end, however, it was seen walked backwards as well as forwards at times. A challenge to photograph at 5X magnification with an active subject and a manually focussed lens.
