This is one of my most "artsy" insect pictures so far. The stonefly's feet look like jewel-topped spires or some kind of alien guard towers. The out-of-focus background is the underside of the thorax (Thorax: The thorax is the middle part of an insect's body, in between the abdomen and the head, and to which the legs and wings are attached.).
