Turnip sawfly stack

At least I /think/ it's a turnip sawfly!

Shot with reversed 50/1.8 (@f5.6) on bellows at full extension + 25mm tube.

Full stack is around 65 images but only around 30 used in this composite..

ETA: As pretty much all of my stacks are likely to be for now, this is a dead specimen...

Very nice!

Gives a bit of relief, doesn't it, to work on something this big !?

It does indeed! Seems quite easy now doing this scale of things!! Funny I was struggling with these a few months ago!!

Very beautiful Laurie. I love when you can see the palps. I think you need to let them dry up a little when you take them out of the freezer. It looks like some dew is forming on the eyes. I had that show up in my Paper wasp picture (small drops around the eyes)
