Insects, Spiders and Crabs
Dung Beetle
I found this dung beetle on the school campus and thought it would make a good photographic subject. I took it to the photo studio and, with a colleague, we proceeded to take macro shots of the beetle. I had never seen all the bristles, the two big eyes in so many details. The beetle was released in my garden.
