    Right about the backlighting. I remembered that the digital had a macro focus which made it a bit easier. It was better with the good light this morning. I'm much better with my SLR than the digital - my wife is excellent with her camera though (that is the digital one)

          That is really clever!

          I bet the over-exposed celebs of this world agree too

            I'm in Florida so please keep that in mind.....

            That looks like a rice weevil to me but it's hard to judge the size and I don't know of any weevil that would do such damage. Weevils eat whole grain such as kernels of corn etc. I'd be interested to know the answer myself. Do you guys have the equivalent of 'silverfish packs' in your mailbox? If that thing eats paper this would be his last meal as it is treated with boric acid. I deal with mail boxes from time to time but I'm not sure what you have available. To see what we do look at http://pestcemetery.com/lonely-mailbox/

            I hope everything works out
