ALL are fascinating, but that Malaysian Cherry Red centipede is extraordinary. Well done.

These really seem to make the point about how even your lighting is. These very shiny surfaces show no real hot spots.

:thumbup: :thumbup: as per usual ;)

The unidentified 'pede does it for me. Looks like it has a metallic finish to it.

Not only beautiful subjects for your photography but stunningly beautiful photos as well. I like the two wasps but all are wonderfully done.

I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think that's the giant version. Unless it was one of Kurt's buddies set ups I'm thinking of.
Kurt, would you please let use know what you are using presently?
