like your previous insect macro, what I like is that it's very uncommun.
The dof is just perfect and I like the light that makes the insect almost transparent .

Oh paulski! This is a stellar image! As always your macro is wonderful and the title so fitting...sad and fascinating at the same time.
Bravo!

Poor little bugger...(alright, I'll admit that was a poor attempt at humor). ;)
Another outstanding macro.

Cooooll!! I'm an insect lover, this shot make me happy! Nice one uniqye figure! nice details.
(in shutter speed I see strange thing, Nikon recorded "5/300" seconds??? why didn't record 1/60 second?? 5/300 is equal to 1/60 you know! its similar to write 0.500 instead of 0.5)

@Light Cottage-Hossein: There's some strange things that happen to my EXIF data when I upload pictured here. The focal length of the lens is 105mm, and the shutter speed 1/60s, but for some reason they get "translated" when I upload them. When I upload the same image to my SmugMug account, the EXIF is just fine.
Thanks for the kind comment...
