    Very cool! I am full of questions…. For instance, how did you get it to pose in precise alignment? Is this a single shot or a small stack? Any details you could share would be appreciated. Posted one year ago

      Yes, it is a cool one for sure!! It was in that position on my moth sheet, this moth is small..5-6mm in length and slender (2-2.5mm width). This is a stack of 14 images. Thanks! Posted one year ago
