many thanks for the kind comments, much appreciated

Bruce, yes, very much alive - I like to take stacks of the beast where it's found and leave it undisturbed - this is done handheld just using natural light.

There's some info on the photomacrography forum at
www.photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17301&highlight=
and here
www.photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17226&highlight=
the first link includes a video and the second has a bit about the technique.
