A slightly more subtle improvement, mostly due to cleaning the specimen. Opatroides punctulatus, native to the Mediterranean region but adventive in California (where I collected it). #entomology #beetle #insect #photography

This morning's set of updated specimen photos. #entomology #insect #beetle #photography

Just a photography lighting test on a beetle. #entomology

Tiny beetle photo. I believe it's a Scymnus. #entomology #insect #beetle #photography

Today's Improved Insect Photo. The new photo revealed grooves on the elytra that weren't visible before! #insect #entomology #photography #beetle

More improvement. Olla v-nigrum: first photo from iPhone, second from microscope (composite of two focus-stacked shots). #entomology #beetle #photography

A bit of photographic improvement. Same specimen (Coccinella septempunctata): first photo taken with iPhone, second is a composite of two focus-stacked images from my microscope setup. #entomology #insect #beetle #photography

Better late than never, I suppose.
