Ever since I acquired the 20x lens, I haven't been happy with the results. The lens is a bit decentered but that's not the problem, my lighting is just not there yet.
However, some do come close. Just need to practise more and explore more options, getting out of the infinite feedback loop of "just diffuse" was an important step.
Morpho Didius. Besides the highling on the tip of the scales, this one is closest to what I deem acceptable:
Papilio Mackii, this one is near perfect for my taste.
A couple Sunset Moth Scales:
Papilio Palinurus Daedalus Scales, probably not great but I really like it!
Blue Papilio Ulysses Scales, this one is a matter of image quality, top left portion really soft. Lighting is perfect for my taste.
Thanks for viewing!

Edit: I couldn't stop looking, had to go through all the pages. Wonderful variety, a great visual pleasure.
