Thanks Ken!
I have a piece of glass on a black background behind my setup to use as
a mirror to help me position the specimens correctly in front of the
lens. I noticed recently that it could also be used to create gradients
in the background by making the angle from the flash just right.
Glad you noticed and commented!

Simply outstanding Jostein !
Aside from the spot on exposure and focus I really like that the yelllow on the
insect is mimicked in the flower, and the fade to white background is
positioned to add and not detract.
I'm not going to try to photograph insects any more <VBG>

http://www.alunfoto.no/innhold/vepsebukk/
This one is a pollen eater as an adult, the larvae live under the bark
on dead twigs of various trees. Its wasp mimicry is not limited to
colours, it even buzz at the same frequency as wasps during flight.
645D, FA 120/4 macro, stacked from 165 exposures.
On the post-processing side, I tried "slabbing" or sub-stacking this
time. Some extra work, but I'm quite happy with the end result.
