Very nice. The ultimate pencil-knecked geek :)

Do you do anything to arrange the insect before photographing? In my experience, the heads bend down quite sharply when dead and can be hard to re-position without further pinning and drying to set them back in a normal position. But this one looks quite natural (to me).

I just stick insects by glue on the needles.
