??? was here

The tiny, semi-transparent outer shell of an insect remains firmly glued to the Scotch Pine needles..long after it shed it's old skin and flew off brand new!


Additional EXIF and shooting data:
This little guy is only about 1/4 inch long so I used the 21 mm extension tube on the 50mm lens to get REAL close. The wind was whipping and the light was low so I chose a fast shutter speed and a high ISO to offset it.
