This is a preserved Harlequin Bug from the Bill (newtoyou) collection that he graciously provided me for focus stacking sessions. A piece of pale blue paint swatch was placed behind it to create the lighter color background. This is a focus stacked image taken with a 5X microscope objective mounted on extension tubes used as the camera lens.

Thanks, Bill and many thanks for being so kind as to share specimens from your collection. I truly hope that you find that I am able to do them justice along with sharing those results with the others here.

Collecting words is like collecting insects.
You may know what it is, but go a long time before getting to use the information.

Really nice stack!
I use Merlin Bird ID app on my iPhone to identify birds from photos that I take.
Is there a similar app for bugs?
