Nice, I like it!
Would be interesting to hear something about your technique.

Thanks, Jorgen,

Labophot scope, 10X CFN Plan Achromat, episcopic lighting with Ikea LEDs diffused with either half table tennis ball or paper towel, a small stack processed through Zerene, cleaned up and contrast adjusted with Photoshop.

I like the composition a lot. Might consider portrait framing but the composition of the pupa is really interesting. Great lighting too.

Thanks, pwnell. I'd meet you halfway and go for square format--

I thought the little guy looked a bit like a mummy--

Nice shot.

Take the whole larva, with two or three stacks of images (panorama), this is the next level.

Thanks, Fredlab; I've done a number of larval stacks in addition to this pupal image, but none using the panoramic stitching. Good idea!
