The individual pictures of this plate, which depicts the life stages of Halyomorpha halys, were taken in the studio using side lighting with bounce fill. The plate was compiled in Photoshop and numbers and scale bars were added using the text and shape tools (see Building a Plate in Photoshop). The egg cluster in picture 2 was attached to a piece of paper when photographed, then composited with the leaf which was photographed at the same magnification. This was done in Photoshop with the help of layer masks.
