This is a focus-stacked image of one of my preserved paper wasps. Their face reminds me of the devil and each time that I get tagged by one, I'm sure that they flew up through the cracked earth from the bowels of hell.

The session was an experiment of pushing the limits of a 50mm enlarger lens beyond the 4X-magnification that I can get on extended bellows alone.

I measured the magnification at 6.3X from the reversed mounted 50mm enlarger lens mounted on a section of extension tube connected to a Raynox DCR-150 used as a tube lens extended 208mm from the camera sensor. I've attached an image of the tabletop macro rig showing the working distance of the subject. The diffusion for the illumination is removed to reveal the wasp staged before the camera.

This is a focus-stacked image of what is commonly referred to as a woodlouse, pillbug, rollie-pollie, etc.

"There are several life forms which are: Runners, which have large eyes, long legs, and sometimes mimetic colors; Rollers, capable of rolling into a tight ball when disturbed; Clingers, less mobile than the preceding forms and with depressed margins of the body which they press down on flat surfaces, and Creepers, which have developed tergal ribs and live in narrow interstices, caves, etc. There are also Spiny and Non-conformist types."

This preserved specimen is one of the "Runners" which can be identified by its long legs and coloration.
