It's possible to make out the black beady eyes on the head in a 'V' shape as well as thin mucous strands underneath the body.

Prelude to cockroach mating:
5 shot stack

Interesting behaviour whereby the male appears to be releasing some kind of white exudate on which the female is feeding. Probably some form of stimulant to encourage mating. Though I'll have to look this up, or better yet someone can provide some additional info. for me to be certain.

A very nice mixed bag Paul, great job on the lighting.
The Ant-mimicking jumping spider and Ropalid wasp really pop, awesome set!
