Wasp mix

Lord Vetinari

Some mixed wasp shots. The last Ichneumon is the one I've been trying to get shots of for about the last month or so. First time one has settled for more than a few seconds. All MPE-65/5Dmk2/430Ex flash.

I love those shots! So clear and close up you could probably see the critter blinking at you!

Just getting started in Macro, it's amazing all the different critters that are out there.

Sure are- amazing what you find when you start actually looking at bugs instead of swatting them
