A photograph of a teardrop-shaped red mite nymph walking on a log surface, which is covered in small vertical fungal filaments, like many tiny hairs.

I love the sense of motion this captures. And the narrow depth of field makes it feel so otherworldly.

The lighting too, the way the mite glows like a jellos shot. Magnificent.
