Photo taken with an early generation digital SLR, the Canon 10D (6MP sensor). If I was careful not to push the ISO, images from this camera were just fine! That Tamron macro lens was excellent--I only traded it in for a Canon later because it tended to get grit caught in the barrel as it extended. I believe this to be the first image of a living specimen of this species, at least the first one that was widely accessible. I identified it based on Dillon and Dillon's guide.
