perhaps you could get all of the antlers with panning like you have recently done?
im not sure if it would work, but the result would be awesome.

expecting to see a Stag Beetle which would have been a nice suprise given they are getting scarce here; but its just your bog standard Devil's Flower Mantid with which the UK seems to be overrun, good shots though.
