A perfect site for the "entomologist" in all of us. Inspiration to try those
macro lenses, closeup rings, extention tubes, ... "TOO CLOSE" maybe?

 

(Almost) completely off topic but the original computer "bug" has struck
again. Local radio news has spent the last couple of days reporting chaos
on a roundabout over the M4 motorway this week because the traffic lights
had reverted to an inappropriate phasing.

Investigations have finally diagnosed the problem to a bug - in this case a
spider, shorting out connections in one of the control boxes.

Although, as one caller asked, is this correctly diagnosed as a computer bug
or is it simply a web problem?

Sounds like a fly in the ointment to me. Or red spider mite.

If it was a spider, I'm sure all the spinnerets in the traffic
department will be trying to show it was someone else's fault.
