Another view for scale
Summerville, Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA
April 25, 2007
Size: ~1 mm
Added for better scaling. Taken shortly after the others, when I was reviewing in the car, noticed this guy running around on my leg, then the lens cap. I measured it later, the ring/land it is on is right at 1mm across, as I've annotated here.
