Who Am I? ? ?

Black Millipede, Tachypodoiulus niger.
It's defensive position looks just like a question mark
550D with M42 tubes but I decided to try a reversed Pentax SMC-A 50mm instead of my usual Takumar. I think the colours are better but until I side-by-side test, I can't say about IQ.

Colours look fine. Could IMO use a little side lighting to aleive some of the dark shadowing to the left hand side. Good results with the reversed kit.

Thanks for the feedback, Chris
The millipede is currently a guest of mine for a few days, so I'll try to coax it into some better shots when I'm (and it) are not at work
In the meantime, maybe I should have gone with this one?

Certainly brighter and more detailed on that side. As it's a guest - certainly time for more photo shooting.
