Our Leaf Insects Close Up

Back in the summer, I acquired five very small leaf insect nymphs. Only two survived for long but these two are still developing well and, fortunately, we have a female (1) with broader abdomen and short antennae and a male (2-8), which is quite slender with long antennae. The male shed its skin yesterday and then proceeded to eat it (a common occurrence perhaps to recover the nitrogen). The first five images are all with Fuji 80mm macro, 35 stacked images processed with Zerene Stacker while the last three are single images on the Olympus with supermacro setting and in-built LED light.
