Always thought this insect had great eyes!

Lovely, as always! Can I presume that you're using the setup you described earlier?

Yup! Blue paper instead of green (for background). 10X has shorter working distance so "dome" is shallower, made from ping-pong ball.

Great images as usual Charlie. I need to get some bugs under the scope.

It is one of my favourite insects. It is called "golden eye" in Polish. Stunning pictures, Charlie, as usual!
