I hope all UHH'ers make use of this site you've given, especially those taking photos of small creatures that make wonderful photos before they enter my kitchen disposal.
My next is a Desert Stink Bug that I was photographing after putting it in denatured alcohol overnite to find it still moved. I then added ammonia for hours & was photoing it and hit once again began moving. So back in the concoction it went. Next, I'll try ketone/toluene hoping this will work better.
As much as these little creatures are pesty according to human standards they do want to live. Therefore, I do all I can to give them a pleasant life while living, then ending it as pleasantly as I can. This includes cockroaches!

Canonclicker, I use Klean Strip M.E.K. Substitute in my kill jar. I place cotton balls in the bottom of a pickle jar and saturate them with Klean Strip. I fold two paper towels and place them over the cotton balls to keep the specimen from getting down into them. I have yet to find a specimen that endures a full minute in the jar. It is the quickest and most humane way that I have found to dispatch them. You can get it at any hardware store and you only need a quart can that will last you for years. I going on three years with mine so far.

This is one of the several preserved Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs (BMSB) that I have in my collection that I staged for a dorsal view showing their open wings. There is a red coloration on the inner surface of the elytrons that cover and protect the wings that can only be seen when they unfold.
This focus stacking session was staged with the Mitakon Zhongyi Creator 85mm f/2.8 1-5x Super Macro Lens using constant diffused LED lighting.
