Description

Another thunderstorm swept through last night, so I jumped outside to grab some lightning shots. The first shot looks like some kind of weird, huge electrical mutant space bug to me, hence the title. Thanks for looking and leaving comments!

Crop/resize and slight levels adjustment, and a touch of sharpening. Nothing artificial introduced, including color.
