Wonderful beetle, like an armored tank. Super detail and fine light.

Great photo! Do you know what the scientific name of this beetle is? I tried to google for Hispine beetle, but I didn't find this anywhere...

Stunningly sharp and perfectly lit image! I'm curious about the technicals...how did you achieve that lighting? Was this focus stacked?
