Awesome images!

Can we get some technical details?

I assume these images are stacked -- unless the critter is positively huge! -- but I have no idea about the subject size.

I want one of these!! All I ever found were the female rhino beetles.

For some reason, these pics reminds me of a showroom car pics. I think it's the lighting and the car paint like sheen on the beetle. Great job!!
