Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Flora and Macro Gallery, week ending 6th April, 2012!Taken at night. Trilobite Larvae is one of the most mysterious and unknown beetle in the regions. Very little information describing it and not many people seen it before. Three years ago I was shooting with friends in the Sarawak forest in the night and one of my friend come across it. We thought it was a dead leaf on the floor. D7000, manual mode, 200mm micro lens, SB15, SB27, tripod, 1/25, F16, ISO400, -0.67EV

Very cool. Great use of flash, and the dark background is fine in these circumstances.

Looks like a dinosaur and not a bug - striking image.
