Weevil on log

Whilst on a visit to Roydon Woods last Sunday for a root around in the leaves, and a play with MPE-65mm diffusion setup testing, I found this weevil on a log.

I used a set of “Dove Invisible Dry” tops to diffuse the light, and had a A5 Book Cover forming a kind of light tent.  The inspiration coming from Steb on the Juza Nature Forum

I will be experimenting with other setup and put a post to explain what I did shortly with my result conclusions.

I’m pleased with these shots of the weevil with this setup.
