Purple-ish Stink Bug

I found this small multi-colored Stink Bug today while scouting in the field and brought it back for a staged focus stacking session. I've found several variety of Stink Bugs and this was the first of its kind for me.

This session was taken with the two lenses that I use attached in series to each other and extension tubes. The subject was placed inside a ping-pong ball that I use to diffuse the illumination and I placed four light heads around the surface of the ball to make it glow softly inside. A piece of pastel colored paper was placed inside the ping-pong ball behind the subject to create the background color.

Thanks in advance to all those who view and for your comments, suggestions, questions and critique.

Brenda, this one has a pattern around its edges and on its back although this view does not show it. Also, this one is smooth compared to most of the bumpy ones that I find.
