Almost like it's cuddling a blanket

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 4x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

Technique: Early morning shot while the critter was still trying to get it's metabolism going. I was holding on to the Lavender stem with my left index finger and thumb, and resting the lens on that same hand to keep everything steady.
