That is very close...what lens did you use on this? Just asking...

That is a very impressive example of macro photography.

Well...., you got me Kodiak. Found that critter dead and dry on mentioned balcony and
used it for a couple of (may i say nice) macros.
Any problems with that?

Absolutely NONE… whatsoever! You got the right idea… better use a dead one

1• the insect's legs are not spanned under the body weight.
2• the dart is visible. Alive, the breathing would be impaired by a dart that's not retracted.
