Great photo - really lovely in high-res  Not sure about the ID - from my memory wing venation is quite important so more angles might be useful for the experts  Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |

Thank you Chris! If I recall correctly I only got one shot (the flash scared it away) but I'll dig into my archives... /John |

Eudorylas close to Eudorylas obscurus Coe, 1966 would be my guess. |

Thank you very much David! Chris> I use a Fujifilm S5pro camera body (same as Nikon D200 but different sensor) and the lenses vary. For this particular one I used an old favorite: Micro-nikkor 105mm f4 AI-s stopped all the way down to f32 . To get this magnification I used the excellent Raynox MSN-202 macro adapter and for lighting I used a Nikon SB-400 with a home-made diffuser mounted on a hydrostatic arm for flexibility. I tag all my images with the equipment used so have a look in my flickr stream if you're interested: http://flickr.com... |

pwalter> For my natural light stacks I almost always go out very early in the morning when the bugs are still relatively inactive. With a sturdy tripod it is usually not so much harder to take a series of shots with different focus rather than just one. I do handheld, flash lit stacks too and these tend to demand a little more work in post processing (i.e. careful pre-alignment of the frames prior to stacking) For focus stacking I use a free app called CombineZP (Lightroom + Photoshop for the rest). |

This photo of Yours should get an award! http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnhallmen/2912347853/ I see that You use a polarisation ring also, do You always use that? |

pwalter> I think you must be referring to the cross-polarization technique I've experimented with in a couple of shots in my stream? I generally don't use polarization filters but cross-polarization is something I play around with sometimes. I've tagged the shots in which I use this with "cross-polarization" so here they are: http://www.flickr...arization/ |
