I keep on finding things too big for the microscope, so here is another of my rare, but getting more frequent, forays into macro... setup uses a simple add on lens to my Powershot S50.
This beetle is about 9 mm long and was caught today on a walk with my daughter to a local river. It is similar to the Great Diving Beetle, but much smaller. The first two shots show it coming up for air.

Though we lean upon the same balustrade, the colours of the mountain are different.
