A tiny fly the size of the proverbial grain of rice. Check out the paddle shaped pad under the forward foot. An interesting insect adaptation of a shoe. Shot hand-held at about 4.5X with the Canon MP-E 65 macro lens & a ring flash.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost.
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
Thanks for the feedback on my macro shots.

Just so we're talking about the same lens, you can see a good review of the one I use at Luminous Landscape.

Because of the MP-E 65's small objective lens, a flash is needed. The Canon MR-14EX ring flash I use clamps to the front end of the lens and puts a lot of light on the subject.
Many macro shooters like to use the Canon MT-24EX Twin-Lite because of it's greater ability to generate shadows and the appearance of depth. Those who use the Twin-Lite setup often say they don't like the 'flat' light that comes off the MR-14EX, but I've been very pleased so far.
