Beautiful stereo of the genitalia of a lovely moth!

For your amusement...

I had to Google Thyraylia bunteana to learn what this creature is. I did that with copy paste to avoid typing errors, and was immediately greeted with one of Google's list of auto-completions. Usually those make a lot of sense. This one was bemusing:
Google wrote:
  • Thyraylia bunteana
  • Thyraylia bunteana recipe
I suppose that Google was thinking "bundt" (pan) or "banana" or something like that. Or am I wrong, and people often cook these things?

I checked to see if just "Thyraylia" or just "bunteana" would produce hits in some other language, but that didn't seem to happen.

Of course that absence could be explained if I'm now in a search bubble where Google assumes that I'm only interested in the moth...

Anyway, the stereo works great. Many thanks!

I am curious about the blue color. Is this inverted for aesthetics, or is there another reason?

Thanks Rik,
This is a new species (record) for the Maritime Provinces, collected earlier this month in my garden light trap.
I was processing a Zerene PMax stack when I accidently hit the wrong option in PS. I thought the effect looked better than the normal positive image.
Decided to do a Zerene stereo.
Great software!

That's a really cool stereo! Love the ethereal look. The stereo really helped sort out the relationships between parts as well. I'm luvvin stereos too now I *finally* got the knack.

I really like the ethereal transparency of this. Reminds me of jellyfish. Great esthetics!
