Our Leaf Insects Have Matured

Two days ago our female (1-4,6) leaf insect and, about a week ago, the male (5,7) made their last moults and now have splendid wings. The female is also now quite plump so we are hoping for some egg laying - females will lay eggs without males present (parthenogenetic). They are stacks of 25 images at f8 stacked with Zerene stacker (no blemish removal in Zerene). I experimented a bit with lighting - all have an overhead lightbox and some have an led light from the front which has reduced the colour saturation.
