Awesome pics! You win!

Definitely a different species than mine. Ours are brown and the eyes, mouth and antenna are different.

Same behavior though, and they do look similar

Clarity aside (it's excellent), I like the colors from the wings. The neck seems disproportionately slender.

Indeed it does!

each image has impossibly small DOF, so you take multiple images moving forward a tiny bit between shots and combine them for more DOF.

how do you change your focus without moving your camera (even if it is on a tripode)?, or just the software do the work of align all the pics??

The camera does move.....its the only thing that moves infact. I use a linear stage with a micrometer
