This is another specimen from Bill's collection. I don't know what it is other than it has long antenna and powerful mandibles. It's rather flat and a dark maroon color. Hopefully Bill will fill us in on the particulars of this interesting specimen.

This is a focus stacked image taken with my most often used arrangement of two reverse mounted lenses connected to each other mounted on a set of extension tubes. Illumination is also my go-to arrangement of translucent drink cups and white paper towel with constant LED and fiber optic lights.

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

Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. It is located approximately 3 miles (5 kilometres) south-west of Ripon in North Yorkshire, near to the village of Aldfield. Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for 407 years becoming one of the wealthiest monasteries in England until its dissolution in 1539 under the order of Henry VIII.
The abbey is a Grade I listed building owned by the National Trust and part of the designated Studley Royal Park including the Ruins of Fountains Abbey UNESCO World Heritage Site.
