August Challenge - Shocking

Day 28 of DDW's August daily challenge - Shocking

My bathroom is on the ground floor and backs on to the garden, with the result that I sometimes get various forms of insect life in there.

Being a compassionate (ok - lazy) person, I tend to leave them alone, since it is mostly Crane Flies (or Daddy Long-legs), which are flies, not spiders despite what many an arachnophobe thinks, and woodlice, which hide where I can't get to them.

Tonight I had this visitor, so what is shocking about it?, well I have many a friend who would be scared rigid by it, despite being able to out run the beastie, but even more shocking, since he was quite nimble, I actually used flash to grab the shot, as it was the only way to get a short enough exposure so I didn't have motion blur. Shocking thought, I used flash!

(Anyone want to buy me this, it's a snip at $95,000. I'm quite prepared to pay the shipping!)
