Wow
That awesome.
Super micro insects are hard not to damage when you can't hardly see them with the naked eye.
Let's not be judgmental.

Yuck
What happened to the abdomen?

Pretty common in alcohol-killed specimens
abdomen becomes distended sometimes in alcohol, sometimes it dries back to "normal" position, sometimes not.
Abdomens can also be distended naturally due to gravid or engorged state of specimen.
