Ichneumon Wasp

This is my preserved Ichneumon Wasp which is part of the Bill (newtoyou) collection so a big thanks goes out to him again.

It is a focus stacked image with a stack of 248 images at 10-micron steps between each one taken with the reversed 28mm lens setup that I have described before and the constant diffused LED and fiber optic lighting. I set a blue colored card behind the subject to create the dark blue background.

As always, thanks in advance to all who view and for your comments, suggestions, questions and critique.

Thanks, Brenda. I keep them stored in alcohol so they often tend to look a bit wet. I found that if I dry them off too much the eyes turn color on me.
