Thanks

I baited a tree limb with a little honey and then shot whatever came to the picnic.

did you use a marco lens? and if so, how close did you get? (because I'm not sure if I'd dare to get really close to one myself )

anyway, awesome colors and sharpness on the face. I'm very much impressed.

also: wow, didn't know wasps had so much hair.

At twice life size (the magnification of this shot) the front of the lens is about 2.5" from the wasp (~6.3cm).
