Very nice, John! The colors pop well with the dark BG. The placement of the larvae is a little awkward, but they are all separated from each other.

The glow in the larvae against the black background looks great, John.  The flashes seem to show of their internal structures very well.  They're nicely spread through the frame.

Nicely set up and shot, John.  I love them against the black background.  I need to start using my black velvet.

Hi John,

I like Phil's comment about the arrangement being somewhat awkward.  Any closer and three becomes two after lunch:).  I like your technique and it has produced a nice image........................Jim
