Multi legged critter in my fuge

I saw this really neat critter tonight when I was looking in my sump.

Any ID would be appreciated.

It's a herbivorous munnid isopod.

Renee you are so good! *high 5* Both at ID & photography. All of your images are tack sharp.

*takes the high five*

I have a 4 GB memory card for the camera. I probably take 1000 pictures to get just one decent pic.... and sometimes I walk away with nothing acceptable after HOURS of trying.

That shot I posted was the best of a bunch. I am still learning to use my new macro lens but so far I have got about 1 image that has been any good.

I was taking pretty good pics without a macro lens and then, of course, got tired of the limitations. When I first started using the macro lens my photos actually looked terrible for a period. Then slowly they returned to my baseline and improved from there. A macro lens has a huge learning curve IMO. Just wait, you'll be turning out wonderful pics in a bit. :-)

Well the really good thing about digital is that I never worry about how many throw away shots I take.

Who cares, take a hundred shots of the same thing and maybe one will be good.

Those bugs R good with buttah

You two kill me... it took just two posts to ID the critter...and then it turned into a photography thread. Gotta love you multi-faceted reefer women.
