 Strange bug. I have no idea what bug this is. The photo is taking its front. It was basically very well "behaved". Stood there and let me take photos of it. Even let me put a colored background behind it!

That is indeed weird. Is this the head or the rear?

Holy crap, that IS a weird fat bug. I've never seen a bug with such small eyes. He looks like a mole with the legs of a fly! Great photo, by the way. :D

It looks like a mole or something. The question is, is that its head, or is that not its head? ;-)

Uh, hamster bug? Looks like one to me ;-)

Had a second look. Good focus control, bokeh. Not as striking a subject as the shiny glossy rainbow bugs, shouldn't have to be if you're a technical voter. Bumped 1

More focus would have made this a higher score from me.
