Fascinating the way the non-iridescent scales running along the vein change in color to maintain the color "scheme".

Craig,
Thanks!
I have quite a few papered specimens (most go back far into the "film" days) and a small collection of other insects. In those days, using film, it was frustrating to try to capture their real beauty and intricacy because of the DOF/resolution limitations. As I have the time, I'm gradually pulling some of these out and working with them.
Thanks!
