Funny, I took some of a bug I got on my dress today. I was stood (as usual) amongst the Buddleja taking pics of all the butterflies there, I have hundreds.

I took it off and got more pics while it crawled up my arm. I think it's a sort of shield bug, I came across a good site with hundreds of beetles on it but haven't checked it yet.

The camera picks up all the texture we don't see in the skin! My dress looked like a coarse weave but is very smooth like Percale cotton.
