Hmm. My comment seems to have disappeared. I was adding a ‘caption’ which went something like this:

Think Lost in Space’s Dr Smith.
“Come closer, dear boy. Yes, that’s it, a little closer now.”

WOW!!!!!
The macro truly shows us what is there but yet unseen by the naked eye.

But this takes it a step beyond…way beyond…into character portrayal.
Anthropomorphic!!!
