Focus Stacked Wooly Bear

This is what we would call a "Wooly Bear Caterpillar" when I was a lad although that may not be a real name for it. I used a microscope objective as the camera's lens and my go-to translucent drink cups placed onto the objective with the caterpillar under it. The drink cup diffuser was illuminated from four directions to counter cast shadows.
I've included a picture of this technique (with a beetle) for those who may want to see how I do this.

With all due respect to your talents, but dang that's ugly. I just had breakfast.
Thanks for sharing the technique.

Always curious how you connect the microscope objective to your camera. Please elaborate. Great shot by the way.

I'm thankful that they are only about an inch long. I can't imagine what it would be like if they grew to the size of a bear. "Lions and Tigers and Bears...and Caterpillars, Oh My..!" as they sang in The Wizard of Oz.
