Flash.

You need to get a quarter or a pencil or something in the image to provide some scale.

I mean, if that thing's 8 or 10mm across, you're being kind of a wuss, but if it's like 3 or 4cm, then I'm impressed that you haven't evacuated the bunker and set it on fire behind you.

Y'know, it's kind of hard to make these value judgments without the context provided by physical scale.

*Turns out its peepers are thought to be bad; needn't have worried.
