Thank you Rik, it has been awhile since I posted anything, so a bit rusty.

These are cool little bugs, with interesting textures. They also tend to sit very still for long periods, and so are good subjects. You can even focus stack a live one, as you show nicely here.

Thanks Mark, the habits of live ambush type critters is certainly a better fit with stacking than most.
