Answer
Hi Craig,

Please send a much larger image, closer if you can.  I would love to help you identify it, but it's too small for my computer to view. To me, it looks like a dot. :)

I will give you a bit of photography advice.

On your camera might be a little flower on the settings.  That is the Macro setting.  It allows you to get within a foot of an object to photograph it up close.

You can send me a whole picture instead of a small one.  Send it to fishdeeva@Ymail.com and I will take a look. :)
