The honeybee is a hairy little creature, it even has hairs on its eyes! On top of its head are three small light sensors, and its large regular eyes give it nearly a 360° view, reaching well into the ultraviolet. With its antennae, it can detect pheromones, scents, humidity, CO₂ levels, and even electric fields. During flight, the front and back wings hook together to form one big wing. It carries pollen in special baskets on its hind legs, though this fellow seems to have spilled them! The notches in its forearms are used to clean the antennae.
Shot with 111 perspectives, 16 photos each, for focus stacking.

Your bugs have an incredible level of detail to them. What are you using to capture these?
