The face of a drumming katydid (photo)

[Ecooper]

Hi all,

OK, I think I have sorted out the problems I was having with stacking images. The photo below is of an immature drumming katydid (Meconema thalassinum) that I compiled from a stack of 41 images. Its head was no more that 2 or 3 mm across. What do you think?

Now it is time to move on to some other subjects. I especially want to spend more time photographing aquatic insects. I also want to shoot more scorpions. I am getting a group of Orthochirus soon...they should be good for photography...

Cheers,

EC

Thanks, you might be surprised by the photos you can take even with an average camera. BTW, I'm envious of the mantids you are keeping! I'd love to get a few of those to keep and photograph!

Cheers,
