A Daddy Long Legs Has Big Eyes

With such distinguished limbs, it’s no wonder you rarely notice the wondrous eyes of a daddy long-legs (Opilones). Photographer Charles Krebs of Issaquah, Washington, captured this alien-like close-up of the bug’s eye magnified under a 20X microscope, earning him 12th place in the 2017 Nikon Small World photomicrography competition.
