I just realized, that I can see my diffuser in his eye

Oh ya I can see it too!
The picture is nice and sharp. But, this is the first time I see a stag beetle with white colour wings on the back.

The light of your diffusor is just gorgeous! Great light distribution and no overexposed areas! And the beetle is just pin-sharp! You know your craft my friend!

Thank you, Lovitazoe: I think, they are usually hidden under his exoskeleton?
BTW: great caterpillar in the MOTM!

Thank you, Helix! In my opinion taking photos of insects is 10% skill and 90% stubborn determination to make 200 pictures in the hope one will turn out useful.
