Macro-Mite

I found this little guy crawling around a crosswalk button. I was able to snap four shots before I entered his circle of fear. He quickly responded by flying away. Since he was so dark and tiny he was hard to spot when he walked along the black line but was obvious against the yellow paint.

I did use a photo-editing program (GIMP) to sharpen him up; my depth of field was so shallow that he ended up a bit too fuzzy, just on the edge of the DOF.
