A whale vertebra.

Its vibrant coloration is the result of bacteria and other microorganisms feeding on the oils that are slowly expelled from within.

@_jumata_ ... The challenge is to obtain the complete stack without the insect moving, which is extremely challenging as temperature play an essential role for the psychrophilic taxa I study. Each of my completed images takes an average of 2-6 days to obtain.

This mayfly (Chiloporter eatoni) is the only surviving species of the subfamily Chiloporterinae. Endemic to Patagonia, this carnivorous nymph can be found in well oxygenated rivers and large streams.

@_jumata_ Hi Julian,
Yes this i@age (and most of my photography) is done through photo stacking. That is the only way to get full clarity on the morphological details/microsculpture. For lighting I use a mix of diffusers and condensers (most of my own creation) to illuminate the insect...

@FrankAshwood @Bertonemyia @ThomasShahan @mesofauna @Ed_P_Wildlife @TimothyJonas @Myrmecos Thanks for starting this thread. I use macrophotography as a means to fund my insect biodiversity research across remote areas of Patagonia in search for rare and new species belonging to relict groups. https://t.co/qvaXSwoIDU

This species of longhorn beetle (Callisphyris leptopus) can be found all around Patagonia. Its larvae burrow in branches of several Nothofagus species, where it spends its entire immature life stages. @ Aysén Region https://t.co/gPffyrJbzF

In Patagonia, a caterpillar nears its end. The delicate oblong structures on its back conceal a sinister nature. Housed within each pale-colored cocoon, braconid wasp larvae complete their metamorphosis while their… https://t.co/NaU2l6Tbpu

In the marginal microhabitats of fresh waterways of, inhabiting the saturated moss, this predatory empidid fly is at the top of the food chain. Its predatory larvae can take down prey over five times its size. #NatGeo
