Another close up critter in superb detail! I'm always in awe of your skills in focusing and stealth with all your bug work.

Thanks Nigel and Chris,
Not sure about the stealth bit, have you seen my set up
I was really happy with the detail in this one, its a learning curve for me.

Looks like it has stereo mics coming out of its forehead.
