Nice on, Ken! The twin flash worked really well.

Can you give us some idea of the scale here? What is the bug on and how big is it?

PJ, the bug is on a leaf of a house plant, which is maybe 3/8 inch wide, at most. The bug itself is just about an inch in length. I didn't invert the image, he insisted on climbing the underside of the leaf!
