Mark does not persuade them to sit still with open wings. He sprays them with something fishy, which kills them instantly ;-)
Well shot BTW. Lighting is good, very good, but I find the flowers low right a bit distracting. Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian.) Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds (Very freely after Arthur C.

Being inspired by Mark's stunning images I thought I'd try some bug shots myself.
