Stacks of Beetles and a Wasp
Hello everyone, I haven't been here in a while. It seems like every month is going by faster and faster! I think I spend more time working in Zerene than I do sleeping :lol: Took a break right now to post some stacks. All stacks are of rehydrated and posed specimens. Emerald Cockroach Wasp (Ampulex ...

@ Lou - Thanks for giving me the correct info. Now that I think about it, the Bauhinias have bean like seed pods and all the orchids don't produce those. Nice to know :wink: @Troels - Working with medium to large size beetles is not difficult for me when using styrofoam. But I will definitely try co...

Thanks Beatsy! After I've relaxed and posed them, I let them re-dry at least for one day. I've tried shooting them once after posing, but they end up drooping down onto their stomach. I pose them by sticking a pin in the underside and then sticking the other end through a Styrofoam board. I pull the...

Thank you Rik O:) . I have only seen the Golden Digger Wasp twice in my backyard on the milkweed plants. It was pretty busy and was going from flower to flower only briefly in flight. It eventually flew over to the neighbor's yard but I didn't get a good look. I just now looked online and saw only 2...

Thank you everyone for trying to help me figure this out. I appreciate it very very much. This morning I took it to my trusted technician. He examined it and he found it it was a part behind the mirror (between the mirror and sensor). Unfortunately he couldn't replace the part. He told me that Nikon...

Camera problem
I have a problem that I hope someone can figure out. I was taking some stacks tonight, first stack no problem. Less than midway into the second stack the bottom part of the each frame blackened out, some frames more than others. I am pretty sure it is a camera issue, but what? I was using a Nikon D8...
