I have a question.
Would you like to tell me how I can remove the dust or like on the back of a live minute insect?

Hi WonGun,
I often wash dirty beetles in plain water and put them in a clean container to dry out before shooting them. Sometimes a soft-bristled paint brush does the job well enough, and I also often rub the beetle with my fingertip in the direction its setae are pointing to remove dust or pollen.
Once I had the bright idea of using compressed air like you use to blow dust off of electronic parts to clean my photo subjects. It turned out to be not so bright after all since it removed elytra, heads, etc.
