Up Close and Personal: There's no Telling WHAT Photobombs Your Image!

OK, so maybe this is not exactly an accurate definition of photobombing... more a case of the fascinating things we find in nature, even when we can't directly *see* them.

I was messing around with various settings on the camera for taking shots of "thin" items that stick up in nature... single stalks of grass, a spiderweb, or maybe a single mustard flower like this one.

The tricky part is that you have to do everything manually, because most autofocus cameras will not detect that there is actually something *there;* it just looks like "air" to the sensors.

Anyway, a decent enough shot, from maybe 5-6 feet away, resulted.

It wasn't till I got home and had it up on the big screen that I noticed this small "passenger:"

It's a tiny insect known as a *"Blue-Green Sharpshooter (Hordnia atropunctata)"* which I have never seen before... probably because it blends in, so well.

Made me sit back and consider how much of nature we most likely never see, because we are talking about *tiny* creatures, or creatures with outstanding camouflage.

Just for grins, I also included a copy of the original in black-and-white, which shows it a little better.

Thanks for reading, and remember to keep your eyes open!
