A truly tiny little thing - apologies for poor quality of image, this one not only took off after the first flash but seemed to remember that the giant black shape had come just before it, and wouldn't stay still if the camera was pointed at it after that.

Place: Chongwe District, Lusaka Province, Zambia
Habitat: Concrete wall of dried out reservoir, within patchwork of orchards and scrub.
Date: 23.09.2011
Size: 3-4mm? Only marginally larger than a cat flea.
