Focus stacking is damn finnicky. This is a stack of 40 images out of my R6, and it mostly worked out ok, except I managed to miss one focal plane slice on the top bug, meaning it’s a tiny bit blurry, and it is killing me to look at.

These hawthorn shieldbugs are absolutely everywhere on my cotoneaster. Every nymph stage represented somewhere, groups on all the leaves and berries.
