Weird thing happened today while I was retouching some scans from 10-year old color slides. When I prepared to clone out this little 'artifact', I saw that it had eight legs.. ;o-)

Does it feed on color slides..?

Mind you, this is a 36mm slide... Jeez, how small is this guy..?

We do not see things as they are. ǝɹɐ ǝʍ sɐ sƃuıɥʇ ǝǝs ǝʍ
 

LOL ! 
A slide-eater ??
I don't know this insect ...
Well seen Geert !

All the old slides I have boxed away..oh my.  Slide eaters or appreciaters?

Well, I have never seen these before either... considering that on the first photo it is already 4.5 times enlarged, and the zoomed-in specimen is about 40 times lifesize... (at least on my monitor).

You can't see them with the naked eye, but they're out there..!
                                           
                                          :b_scared:

Well, the good part is, someone (or something) likes my photos.. ;o)

Oh, and with its eight legs, it's not actually an insect... my guess is that it's what we call a 'dust mite', a member of the arachnid or spider family.

In a later message, girsempa also said,

That's intertesting ... very interesting ...

Those things eat dust ... right? 

So what's wrong with that?  LOL

p.s. Google has already found quite a few images of dust mites.

**If we could just train the little critters to come and clean the house once a week and then leave....ROTFLMAO

In youth, we learn....with age, we understand.

Or is it a really big bug that's survived from millions of years ago?
