great shot!
did you use your MP-E 65mm lens for this one? The tiny detail is very impressive.

 
yes
I used the MP-E 65mm lens -- thanks for your comment. I did take quite a few photos to try to get the beetles when there were as many as possible all lined up in the same plane so as many as possible would be in focus.
