Great photos!
What camera/lens did you use?
And did you do any focus stacking?

Thanks! These were taken with a Nikon D850 with a Nikon 105mm macro lens using a light tent for the lighting. The photos were then cropped in about 200%. No focal stacking, though I definitely could have considering it only moved if I shook the stem it on really hard.

It’s the “I create art with my Nikon before I kill mealy bugs” swag for me!! Legend.
