  "shot": {
    "composition": "locked-off macro close-up filling ~70 % of frame; insect diagonally positioned on a mossy eucalyptus twig",

    "frame_rate": "24 fps",
    "lens": "100 mm true 1:1 macro",

  "subject": {
    "species": "Acrophylla alta (new giant Australian stick insect)",
    "dimensions": "≈ 40 cm body length, ≈ 44 g mass",
    "appearance": "olive-brown, lichen-textured exoskeleton; elongated limbs; dew droplets on carapace",
    "behaviour": "slow, deliberate step along branch; subtle antennal sweeps"
  },
  "scene": {
    "location": "Misty Atherton Tablelands rainforest canopy, North Queensland, Australia",
    "time_of_day": "early morning",
    "atmosphere": "light drifting fog, occasional water droplets falling in background bokeh"

      {
