Hi Jackie, thanks for that advice. It appears from other comments on terrestrial invertebrates I need to get closer (if possible) with my camera to the subject and take it from both ends, and the side. I took only three shots of the Xmas beetle. Here is the third heavily cropped, which hopefully shows a little more of what you may be looking for.
