Will Continue To Remain A Lucky Mystery....

Hey there folks....




                So, for this post I decided to share a picture I took not too long ago on a beach in Tobago. I know this blog is intended for pictures taken THIS semester, but as I AM limited I would like to show you all this. In my opinion it is a rare photo. 

               The name of the beach is Turtle Beach and as I was sitting there wrapped in my hotel towel on one of the beach chairs, I saw this weird bug on my leg; I had no idea how it reached there and what exactly it was, I don't even know if I should categorize it as a bug!! It made its way unto my pink towel and got caught in the fuzzy stuff. I just stared at it, afraid to even move or furthermore BLINK!!

              I looked down and saw it making its way across, crawling and finally approaching my leg. My camera was in my hand from taking pictures of my mother in the water. My first reaction or reflex was to flick it off, scream and run away, but somehow I found it to be so weird and unique that I had to resist my normal female urges to freak out.

            I set the camera on my favourite 'macro' setting and got the creature. I put the lens so close to it that I was afraid I would scare it and it would either run off and bite/ sting me. I then proceeded to carefully let it off my skin and get as far away from it as possible! I zoomed in and out of the picture frequently after that, not believing my eyes. I showed my mother, aunts and everyone else who was on site. They also found the creature to be very queer. 

            I could not decipher if it was a spider or bug or what!! I researched it and they had none of the sort available or that were a complete match; there were similar ones but none were the same as the one I captured. The closest one to it was a rare species of spiders found in the AMAZON!! This made me even more curious as to what that living thing actually was, and I considered myself lucky; but up till this day I still have no idea what it was. I am still left clueless but in awe of how beautiful this tiny thing was. It was smaller than my finger nails to boot!

             I am just so thrilled to get this shot and so grateful that it did not sting me or probably kill me. Just kidding.. but then again, we don't know what it was capable of. 


Take a look and tell me what you think..

(I even think that it has a cartoon face drawn on it ^_^ )

Examine it for yourself.
