There was an camera ad by a company called RITZ Camera & Image in the Sunday paper. While thumbing through the ad, I spotted this "photo studio in a box" item. While there is no way that I would spend $99.99 for this thing, I figured that I could make one similar to it for just a few dollars.
You could take this concept and modify it to make a perfect bug macro photo cage. Rather than having an open front, change it to where it had a bottom and four sides with no top. The bottom could be plywood and the sides could be obscure plexiglass. Grass trimmings and sticks could be put into the bug cage to be used for background affect. You could mount a light or two on a small tripod to either shine thru the obscure plexiglass sides or from the top. This could be made small enough where you could place it on the kitchen table, put a few bugs in it, and take as many photos as your heart desired...it should be very difficult for the bugs to escape. Just an idea...Please have a great day! Kelley (Texas)
