It was a throwaway set (no keepers) following my favorite bug - the period-sized "velvet mite" which I never seem to get keepers of...
Shot 9997
...and shot 9999.
Later the same day, (0025) I did get a good one of this little root maggot fly, who made an easier subject in several ways, being bigger, and staying still for a long time.
It took me just shy of seven years to break 10k shots on my camera - most of the people round here shoot a lot more often than I do I think, but it still feels like I get good use out of my equipment. I'm quite proud of some of the images (like the one above) I've managed to capture over the years.
