Nice. Add me to the list of folks that like the face detail. It's hard to get those critters to sit still for a portrait. ;-) I used to chalk it up to them wanting their picture taken.

Really nice super-closeup, and well composed.

The only time I've gotten anything remotely this close, I was trying to shoot a flower petal and the critter landed right in front of my lens while I was focusing.
