 Worlds cheapest macro? $20 magnifying glass :-)

Prediction: 5.4xx (still hoping for a +6 shot but I don't think this is it)

I tried to do the same sort of shot with ants but the little blighters were too black and small to make any sort of impact. I had planned to take something a little more interesting using this technique but never got the time. I thought about using a magnifying glass 20 mins after rollover of the Shallow DoF challenge and have been waiting for a suitable challenge. I'm sure this has been done many times before as I'm not that inventive but I haven't come across any photos yet.

I added the exta info in the title after my daughter asked me what sort of creature that was :-)
