NOTE: This image is a focus stacked image of "Cydalima perspectalis chrysalis amidst silk strands of open cocoon - 2020-05-03 focus stack.jpg" consisting of 15 images that were merged using Zerene Stacker Version 1.04 Build T2019-10-07-1410 (licensed). As a result, this image underwent digital manipulation which may have included blending, blurring, cloning, and colour and perspective adjustments. As a result of these adjustments, the image content may be slightly different than reality at the points where the images were combined. This manipulation is often required due to lens, perspective, and parallax distortions. العربية ∙ Deutsch ∙ English ∙ español ∙ français ∙ 日本語 ∙ македонски ∙ português do Brasil ∙ русский ∙ slovenščina ∙ ไทย ∙ українська ∙ 中文（简体） ∙ 中文（繁體） ∙ +/−
