These guys are super tiny so I was using my macro lens with extension tubes which of course drastically affects Depth of Field. This particular shot was anywhere between F/16 - F/11

Oh yes, of course. Any idea of the object:image ratio? High, obviously!

My L3's dont have any sign of a shield yet so I assumed L4.... maybe I'll get an L3 with one

The shield (pronotum) becomes slightly wider around L4 but the following molt will be obvious.

This is the one at L5
