    It's in tears because of the heavy load of that raindrop! Do you think the tiny, orange thing on its eye is an insect? Posted 6 years ago

      I don't know. If it is, it would be incredibly tiny because this already is a crop of a 1:1 macro. Roughly I'd guess the orange speck would be < 0.1mm. Posted 6 years ago

        Well, the orange speck will have to remain a mystery. Posted 6 years ago
