Notes:
For those of you who look at more properties the focal length was 420 mm for this capture. The reason for the inaccuracy in the exif data is that I had 68 mm of extention tubes between the lens and the 1.4 TC, so when the camera "asked" the lens for its focal length it couldn't "see" the TC through the X-Tubes.
It's also important to note that the long DOF (i.e. good focus from nodus to nodus) is due to the long focal length in combination with a small aperature close to the sweet spot..

I've seen other folks posts of this critter, but had never seen one myself, so I was pretty psyched when I found these guys right next to the parking lot.
