Divers will appreciate how difficult it is to take this photo of a fan worm, which shoots back into its tube at the slightest movement. This shot by

Miniscule CreaturesFor those photographers wanting even smaller than macro, there is supermacro. This is

when the subject in the photo is larger than life. Such as in this capture of a Pearl Granular Crab. This tiny fellow measures less than 7 mm. His portrait was taken by

George Low in Anilao, Philippines.
