Nice detail! Have you attempted photographing it using a dark background? I think it might work well.
Have a look at this:

What an astonishing structure ... it almost looks 'assembled' rather than grown.
Must learn more about these rove beetles !

That structure blows me away! Who knew that it looked like that?
Great detail and stack.
I agree with 75, a dark background would be an interesting image as well.
Nicely done Kit.

You set me off on a voyage of discovery, Kit
At last I have found something which takes us beyond your wonderful optical image:

The second photo is a montage, and it merits careful study !
