Scientific Ultra-Macro Insect Capture Prompt

An extremely detailed, technical prompt designed for generating a hyper-realistic, scientific ultra-macro photograph of a predatory wasp carrying a bright green caterpillar. It specifies the goal, subject, pose, framing, and includes meticulous camera and post-processing settings (apochromatic macro lens, f/11, 1/8000 shutter, cross-polarized lighting, focus stacking) to achieve entomology documentation realism.

Prompt

"[GOAL] Hyper-realistic ultra-macro insect capture in mid-air
[SUBJECT] predatory wasp carrying a bright green caterpillar
[POSE/STATE] wings stretched mid-beat, prey gripped tightly, both suspended in motion
[FRAMING] full-body insect profile, isolated; subject centered with generous negative space

[FX] none; zero motion blur; no halos; no glow
[DOF] deep-plane focus stacked (40+ slices)
[ENV/BG] seamless monotone backdrop, soft bokeh compression, no environmental clutter
[RENDER] scientific-macro discipline; entomology documentation realism
