Claviger close-up
Claviger longicornis (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae). Clavigers are known as blind myrmecophilous beetles. On this photograph you can see that they are completely eyeless, the eye must be placed right behind the first antennal segment.
Studio work about the same beetle from the previous post. 213 shots takenwith a Nikon CF Plan 50x microscope objective at around 45x magnification. Stacked in Zerene Stacker.
