Grain Beetle... amidst my china barley : P

_MG_1076 - Grain Beetle, originally uploaded by -AroFarMeR-.

Surprise surprise... to find our little pesty friend alive and kicking in a sealed packet of china barley which my friend bought.

The china barley is for me - to shoot his herbal drink stall "Barley Drink" pictures and out tumbled the tiny grain beetle as i poured out the content.

i thot it was dead at first sight, all wrinkled and motionless... but as i was preparing the china barleys for shoot, this tiny black spec suddenly moves!

Quickly, i got my macro lens and trailed it. It went around and occassionally spreading its wings. i guess it's warming up... after spending who knows how long in the sealed pack!

Finally, with all its bodily juices pumped up, it spread its wings and took off...
