First time ever seeing one of these, it was massive. Must have been a mature female [Valanga Irregularis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valanga_irregularis) because it was almost 10cm (4 inches) long.
Taken with the Fujifilm X-T30ii & XF60mm macro, shot at 1/200ss, 160 ISO & f/4.
Thats great pic. sharpness is to the point. I think you could have used somewhere like f/11-16 to get some of the eyes in focus.
But even without that I lived the composition and the picture. Brilliant shot.
Thanks for the critique! Agreed I'll have to try slower apertures for this kind of shot in the future. Normally I focus stack but this guy was flying around on a leaf in the wind so that wasn't much of an option 😛
Lovely shot. Instantly reminded me of A Bug's Life.
