Floating frames for macro photography

One of the good things about social media (if you're doing it right) is learning from people who are smarter than you are. A post by Mark Webster on Bluesky put me on to floating frames. Floating frames consist of two layers of transparent flexible film which can be used to trap an object between them and give the illusion that it is floating. They are widely available online (I bought mine from Amazon) in a range of sizes (I bought the 7cm size). Small insects can be trapped within the frame immobilizing them for macro photography. As the film is soft and flexible the insects are unharmed and released after identification. Here is the the result: 

With use the transparent film will mark and the frames will need to be replaced, but so far so good!
