Assassin Bug, head, MD, Upper Marlboro 2013-09-15-13.47.53 ZS PMax (9763320524)

Description:

Description: Sirthenea carinata, a rather thin assassin bug which is why I thought is was a plant bug at my moth light and when it came half way out of the container I though nothing of pushing it back in, upon which I immediately learned it was an assassin bug because it jabbed and injected me with bug digesting juice, under my finger nail with its proboscis. Very painful..but it did not get away. 4x stacked shot here, which I recently learned will achieve a better sharpness than 5X due to lens dynamics which I do not understand..seems to be true, those eyes are crisp. Canon Mark II 5D, Zerene Stacker, Canon 65mm macro lens. Date: 15 September 2013, 15:22. Source: Assassin Bug, head, MD, Upper Marlboro_2013-09-15-13.47.53 ZS PMax Uploaded by Jacopo Werther.
