ThrobinHood: how big are they?

Murrh: I swear you've liked this photo before .. they were 4cm long? nullarbor plains.. SA somewhere. Only photo I have left, lost the camera/lenses/laptop etc.. bag gone a while back/someone pinched a good haul that day. Nice to have at least one photo left. Not sure if this critter was under that rock the whole time, or they came to warm themselves by an early morning fire I lit to warm up after a cold night. There they were all a sudden.. under a rock beside the fire.

ThrobinHood: I would have in my other acc no doubt. Thats a bit smaller than I was expecting, almost cute the way its hands are out like oliver twist, please sir I want some more n shit..

Murrh: Was a wary champ, total poser though, waited for me to get out my camera.. switch lenses.. sort out the appropriate macro attachment... can't take a photo like this a mobile phone etc Wildlife that doesn't run away.

Alan Edwin Innes: some scorpions used to be 3metres long, back when they were aquatic.

Murrh: Wow trilobyte days or so. That'd be a sight. so fairly unchanged in form and an aquatic original. Nice

tina_time7: you call it a critter? it's so big though. critter sounds kind of small to me.

tina_time7: oh i saw a tiny mini thing like this outside my home.

tina_time7: how close are you to it?

Murrh: bout an inch long? perhaps less. The camera was about its body length away from it. Macro attachments allow you to focus on objects really close up. They screw onto the end of the lens, enabling 'macro' photography. not sure why 'macro' photography means pictures of tiny things? but it does. It is tiny.. It's just a good shot with halfway decent camera equipment.

tina_time7: the camera lens fooled me indeed

Bushy6278: Macro is the opposite of micro
