I wonder what it would feel like to touch these things - IF they were life size that is. Feeling every hair.... 

[Peter Connan]

Stunning images all, but I like the third one best!

Bob, i am rather impressed how you train these crawly creepers to stay still for that many shots,

ethyl acetate in a jar... works wonders

Scary. 

Out of curiosity; how long does it take to stack all those images and how big are the files?

takes about an hour... shooting the stack, focus stacking, post-processing in PS

each file is a 36Mpx TIF file out of the D800, 110 MB on disk

The last one looks awesome!  H.R. Giger should envy. 

So, you are working on 20-30G data for one stacked image!

each tif file of the stack is 110 MB out of the 36Mpx D800E.. so for the 275 images of the above image aprox 30GB. but if you include the saved file from zerene stacker + photoshop image files it grows to 45GB saved on disk.
