Common meadhowhawk

I was chasing a butterfly this evening when I stumbled on this. I think it may be a common meadowhawk, although it seemed quite small for one.

Thanks both. BC: I shoot with a 50D. This was with the Canon 100mm L macro, 20mm tube, and flash, handheld. 1/200, f/13, ISO 200

Paddler,
Has this image been stacked?? Wonderful picture!!

Ambrola,

thanks. No, it is not stacked. I stack a lot of tripod-based images, but I am still working on getting stable enough hand-held shots for stacking. With flash, you can use a small enough aperture to get marginally acceptable DOF with magnifications of 1:1 or slightly more.
