I need some help identifying this bug, can't find a match. Concerning the photo, it triggers some philosophical thoughts to me personally. What seems like a trivial distance to us, is a world to cross for this bug. We can put the bug's world in perspective because we can grasp the bigger picture. We should realize though that the same applies to ourselves, if we overfocus on our personal challenges, we lose sight of the bigger picture and are unable to put them in perspective.

I hope that makes sense. It's monday after all.

    Ferdy, that's really deep for a monday. Even now, and it's tuesday:) Your shot emphasizes this big big world. Fortunately it has wings to span a distance, how handy that would be for us two legged humanoids I can only imagine.
