Chrysobothris chrysoela

I finally put together a means to mount my dslr on one of my microscopes. Experimenting with lighting, bounce and diffusion with two flash heads. Once I get that worked out it's on to focus stacks.

With a name like Chrysobothris Chrysoela, it has to be good.

Very cool shot; nice texture.

Fascinating! Is this set up at work or home? Are they subjects you have collected? You know I love the detail of insects...I must look this one up, it's markings are beautiful.
