~Pantilius tunicatus final instar~

I'm pretty sure this is a Pantilius tunicatus final instar, I saw a few today on my after work walk. Pantilius tunicatus is a Plant Bug (Miridae) and is common and widespread across Southern Britain. These usually start appearing in September, so looks like these are a few weeks early this year.

 

This fine fellow was very cooperative and stayed put for this 18 image handheld focus stack. I used an aperture of F/6.3, ISO 320 and a 1/160 shutter speed, I was at about x3 mag with my MP-E.

 

Hope everyone has a great weekend :o)
