Sorry, Wulinka, I didn't intend to steal your idea. I've just got a studio flash and I had to explore the possibilities. The corpse had been lying under my monitor since summer.

Thanks guys!
This was taken with the Nikon D70, the Tokina AT-X Macro 1:2.5 and a 52.5 extension tube. Shutterspeed: 1/60s. Aperture: f22 (or f32 - I don't get exif data with this gear). ISO: 200.
Setup: Dead fly on white sheet of paper.
Lighting: Walimex Studioset CY-300 full throttle with a diffuser from the left, some other noname flash from the right and the builtin camera flash (triggering the slaves).
Photoshop: Cropped, increased brightness/contrast to lose the paper texture, with a mask on the wings. Cloned out some sensor dust spots and a few indications of shadow that were still left. Smart sharpened.
