Stunning rendition of the head, the antennae and the forelegs. Are they translucent, or did you use red lightings?

white light strobes.. but i increased the saturation and contrast.. this insect does have that red look if you close

Thanks for the detail. It should look really scary for the insects of smimilar sizes...

actually the strobes are SB-900's

Very, very impressive. Completely nitpicking: I would prefer to remove the OoF parts, particularly the red/orange around the leg on the bottom right.
