And the Winner of this Year's Weevil Race is..

Uploaded: June 27, 2017 | Entered: June 27, 2017 10:24:12

Description

I had no idea what this was when I took the photo. He was about a quarter inch long. Afterwards, when I found out that it was a Weevil, the line of cement just looks like he is coming up to the "Finish Line", so hence, the title. Taken with Canon Mark II, Canon 100mm L macro lens, and KX-800 twin flash. Settings f16, 1/90, ISO 200.

Thank you, John. It is my favorite type of photography, because it allows me to see things that I can't see by just looking at them in nature. <>< #11615251
