Coo! They look iridescent, or something.

Thank you. Yes, they are iridescent due to thin suface membranes.

Here's another similar species with a more ovoid form (thanks also to S.Lloyd)

These are really stunning. Well lit and great use of deep stacking!!

These are fantastic! How did you light them?

Thank you very much indeed.

For low magnifications I use 2 x Trond LED panels, but for higher magnifications and iridescent subjects flash seems to work better (1 x Canon Speedlite 430EXII with circular paper diffuser around subject).

Thank you very much David and Sumguy01.

Here's another quick stereo from this week (a different but related sample/species.)
