I will be coloring electron microscope photos for a book coming out - maybe next year? I get to color things like a male black widow spider, diving bell spider, wolf spiders, spiny spiders, etc. You know how the male spider carries their sperm packet in their pedipalps? Wow, those things are absolutely fascinating close-up.
