Any clues on this little(really little) guy.The DOF line is as wide as his body. This was f11, you can see the problems with getting things in focus close up. Look and see what is in focus underneath him.

That looks as if it might be the Californian Snout Moth Hypena californica

If you look at all my macros you will see the DOF line.

Depth of field. it is what is in focus as it relates to the complete range of the picture. The higher the f stop the greater the depth of field. f2.8 not much f16 much, much more. When you focus on a point it is what is in focus in front of it and in back of it also.

Ohhh...thanks! I've been using my automatic 35mm and digital camera for so long now I don't think I remember how to work any manually.
