wow.. old is gold ! good one.

it's a potato bug...or what some like to call a roly poly?

Yeah, or a pill bug. Cool shot... how'd you do it?

It's very cool shot. It looks like a floating bug or fossil - and curious as well how you did the shot

Thanks, it is indeed a pill bug, roly poly or wood louse, but not I believe a potato bug.
It was on a piece of glass over some coloured matter, on it's back trying to right itself. I flipped the image and really liked the way it looks like it's swimming.

Excellent... it does look like some swimming monster. Good job

This is such a cool shot! Well done author!

Potato bugs are also known as Jerusalem Crickets...just found that out, thought I'd pass it on.

I worry not what it is I am to occupied thinking amazing it is :-}

Great shot for a so small thing !

We call them slater bugs - no idea why!

I love the texture on it. Is it wood, or metal painted to look like wood? (I'm saying metal).

Really nice lighting and detail.

Neither wood nor metal! it is ceramics

Wow! The edge around the hole is so thin, I would never have thought ceramic. Great find for the contest.

love those eyes

nice wide open eyes to see the brand new world, good luck!
