Beautiful!  This is definitely one of the best that has ever come out of your stacking rig.

Beautiful rich colors, with interesting shades (thanks to the reflections); black background helps them sing. There are no annoying artifacts (I do see some halos though, but against a dark background that's unavoidable I guess).

Still, I admire the patience of those poor insects. Stacking is as fast as daguerreotypes...

The details are so very impressive, but the first image doesn't show up for me?
