Lord V: It was a Pentax Optio WP, the same waterproof camera I used for the more recent underwater shots. It has a 1cm zoom, which is just a blast to play with.

Here's a cool reuse, thanks to Creative Commons... flick is gracing the home page of UCSF: www.ucsf.edu

article:

"The beetle’s back and the crab’s shell owe their toughness to a common compound called chitin that now appears to trigger airway inflammation and possibly asthma, UCSF scientists have found.

Insects, molds and parasitic worms — all common sources of allergies or inflammation — produce billions of tons of chitin a year. Humans and other mammals lack chitin, but we do have specialized enzymes to break it down. The scientists wondered why."
