Thats a very smart specimen Edwin and very nicely done.
I did exactly the same today including a Ladybird that didnt like staying on the head.
After seeing this I wont be posting it. :biggrin:

Very nice Edwin, not sure how much of the 'mush' is natural, knowing your work I will assume it all is.... my only real nit is that I would prefer the front of the Agaric to be in focus, could have been achieved with a little bit of stacking, the bug on the stem is great particularly at this time of year...
