    An alternative that I like to use in the lab is squinting and holding the sample really close to my face. Perhaps they used my method if the bugs weren’t big enough?

      I mean, yes (Im losing that ability as I age :(), but also it’s not that far fetched to just conclude all insects are built about the same.

        For sure, I just like posting stupid things on memes.

        I think your lab needs to get you a giant magnifying glass with a light so your squinting days can continue. They’re super nice for things that can’t go under a microscope. So far I’ve been lucky myself, but many of my colleagues my age experience the same problem. Some day I would like to get a macro camera so I can just show them pictures.
