as an advice, hope that you don't mind.
when photographing ventral part of a butterflies you go very close to your background... and is hard to obtain a clean/shadow-less image. to obtain this I have build something like a cylinder in which I pin the butterfly. the butterflies will have in that way a big distance and the background will be like when photographing the dorsal part.

Yeah, thanks, I always accept advices, specially from a talented photographer like you
I hate to photograph the ventral side, and I usually didn't, and then I don't dedicate so much time If you can take a picture of your cylinder, and show that, it would be nice

Thanks again
