This is a rather large Cerambicid, Centrodera spurca

Hi Steve, it's been a while since our posts have crossed

.

A very professional, super-clean stack with plenty of interesting detail to explore and enjoy. Any chance of seeing a pic of the complete insect?

Very interesting looking beastie. Would love to see the whole one too!

Can't comment on the technical side though since I've never done a stack!

Beautiful pic, Steve but how big is it?
150mm Sigma ?
A yard of bellows?

Chris, the specimen is about 25mm long. No extension on the lens.

Most of the time when I am shooting I forget to do anything with scale bars or keeping track of magnifications. I often shoot several dozen stacks a day and the people who use my images seldom care about scale bars.

AH. I was just, well, alarmed really, thinking that that was a full frame shot!
