Flower Eating Weevil
Oct 22, 2021 22:56:09 #
This is one of my preserved flower-eating weevils of which one is brown and this one is black. I have them preserved in denatured alcohol and I brought this one out for inspection and staged it for a focus stacking session.
I staged this session with a reversed mounted 50mm f/2.8 enlarger lens attached to a bellows which was extended to a length that brought the entire specimen to fill the frame of the APS-C sensor camera for 414 images and processed in Zerene Stacker.

I like seeing the entire weevil, especially how you staged it. Excellent lighting.
I have your photos to aspire to - getting set up but will take some learning.

Thanks, Dennis. These are ever so small, perhaps only 1/8th inch or so and setting them before the camera is an experience in itself.
