I like the overhead portrait. Captures the "butt pincers" as well as the feathered antennae

I think the 'pincher looking things' are part of the male genitalia. The way I understand it, they are located beside the sexual organ and are used to help him to grab the female while mating in the air.

You are going to have to up your game Tom. How about 2 or 3 pano's so we can see the whole thing at this magnification.
