Hi Gang
Caught a fresh specimen and decided to try to do different
shots around parts of the head to see what kind of results I
could get. The amount of eye receptors amazes me.

Hi there
If I recall, there are two shades of color on the eyes. I will look
tonight and verify. As for the "eye staring back", I have no idea as
to how that came about. I will look at my original tonight and see
what I can find out.
My gear is a Nikon D810 with a Nikon 4x E plan attached to a
Nikon 200mm macro lens. I have it mounted vertically on a Nikon
Multiphot, and I use the stack shot to drive a movable subject stage.
These shots were at F8, 30 micron increments and a total of 3
second exposures, and between 100-200 shots each.

I don't spend as much time looking at insects as many others on this forum, but would suggest that what looks like the human eye is the reflection of the objective lens and photographic lighting in the insect's median ocellus.
Nice shots!
