They're very tricky because of the very high magnifications needed to show the detail on the genitalia ... and you need a specimen where the genitalia are in *just* the right position for them to come out well in a photo. I will try but don't hold your breath - I can only go up to about 5x magnification and I am busy cleaning and drying my house after a minor flood ... a pipe burst in the loft ;)

PS: I think that you might be able to make it clearer by relaxing the specimen and folding the genitalia out a bit :)
