40X Panorama of five images.

Hi Jim,
This is a good photo, but not actually a mosquito larva. Those have a broad thorax and its only projections are setae; instead the prolegs on the front and end of the body mark this as a midge larva. The two groups are somewhat related, but adult midges don't bite.

Hello
Très belle photo
Cordialement seb

Thanks for the info re midge lava. JimT

Beautiful. Excellent panorama image! I tried to do one for "my" mosquito (also using my 4x objective), but the result was very poor. (Although I used fixed manual exposure on the camera so that the exposure does not change automatically from frame to frame, I still got different density backgrounds: yours looks just perfect with no hint to indicate that this was stitched from multiple frames.)

Same - 4X objective. For good photos I use my Canon 60D, eyepiece projection, and remote shooting. This one, 10X eyepiece, 1/15 sec exposure, and ISO 200. Merged in PS. I also have taken panoramas that I wound up deleting

Thanks. Like I said, your photos are quite good. JimT

Very good job JimT,
