Had this little fella just sitting there posing so nice. I had time to set up a tripod, flashes, and I was able to get several shots to stack.

Dude was curious just staring into the lens. :)

Was able to zoom in about 3x. This is a four shot stack.

Moving over to the side I got a nice pic of his wing.

Zooming in about 3x really reveals no additional detail. It's clear as glass between the veins.

Great shots! I'd love to find a cooperative cicada, but they don't seem to come out of the trees around here too often.
