Good quality, DOF and EV. Almost an FP at commons as well, where it raised some pretty hilarious
ethical issues
Comment Stalking more sexing insects, eh? I think some of the users at Commons were reminiscing a certain high-pitched, cinematic quote:

His camera is probably like "Oh my, not again!". If not, maybe like "YES!". :-) ZooFari 02:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)reply
Comment Given the size I'd probably consider supporting per Shoemaker. However I am a little concerned about the white balance, which seems to have a very yellow tint to it. What is the story there?

Uploaded edit 1 with colors adjusted. If there is pref for this version then I should upload this edit over the original. --

New edit looks a bit cold to me, though that's just a gut feeling - could be just because of its juxtaposition to the original. Is there somewhere in between you can go? --

Looks close enough to me. Second question though. What is with the "pools" of focus around the legs? Is this a focus stack?

The original image had good DOF but a small part of the legs was OOF and since I had another version with the legs slightly sharper, I cloned them over. --

Support Edit 2 The cloning isn't really ethically distinct from a focus stack or panorama.
