Lately I have been experimenting with 800 ASA film with the telephoto lense with good results. A few images of preserved specimens have been captured using a high-res 3CCD digital video camera through an Olympus stereo microscope, or with the Pentax through a Leica stereo microscope. Most of the images are butterflies and other Lepidoptera, but there are a few beetles and other insects in there as well. Most are Australian, but there are some images of insects from South Africa and from Papua New Guinea.
Males are the only butterfly to have a frenulum.
Images by myself, D. Crosby, and M.F. Braby. For details on the conservation of this species in Victoria, see my other research interests page . Knysna, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Female pinned specimen from Mt. Piper, Vic. Pinned male from The Paps, Vic., pinned female from Trawool, Vic.
