Carpet Beetle
It’s official: I should have been filing carpet beetles under “flying” this whole time. Jason Peters sends in this photo of a carpet beetle initiating its preflight check. I like the wing capture here, but also the detail on the patchwork colors. Given that these bugs are about 2mm long, this is a fantastic shot.
Thanks Jason!
Slowly getting the site back onto an even keel. It's nice to get back into the old posting rhythm.

Very cool. The coloring came out really well in this picture!

Thanks. Did you get the wolf spider and eastern tent caterpillar photos I sent? I never got a response back.
