Hi Chuck, The lunas look really nice against the dark background. I think the key is to having specimens with no dark margins that can "blur" with the background. The sharp edges of the lunas maintain a nice contrast. Chris's work is spectacular, but even in those high-res images, some of the dark beetles lost the contrast battle with the black background and it became difficult to see detail in parts around their edges. However, the intended use of the images matters - for aesthetic purposes they are great, if one was trying to use them for a descriptive publication, maybe not so. Same for the drawers - one may not want to do a whole collection this way, but for display and educational drawers, it would be stunning... Cheers! Bob Hey Bob, why don't you try it with some Tenebrionidae?

Hi Chuck,
To complete the effect, I should print the labels in white font on black paper... give it that whole "Batman" aura...
Cheers! Bob
