If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! My, they are ugly looking little "bug"gers! But well made photo. Must have been a bit of a challenge. Keep up the good work! :-)

Crikey! I don't know how you do it. Didn't you say once you had problems with your eyes? Most 20-20 wouldn't catch this. Brilliant stuff.
