Deep stack: wasp face.

First try with the bellows / JML lens combination and I'm quite pleased with the results so far. This is a deep stack (100 images) of a very small wasp. The image is not cropped.
Obviously the main character here was expired when I took the shots. I found the wasp dead a couple of days ago and it mostly likely died in a fight with another wasp over a piece of apple. I have no idea about the ID of this wasp, so if anyone knows, please let me know!
Here's a pic of the setup (click for larger)
thanks for looking

@icebear: Yes, I should have been a bit more clear on the JML lens, sorry about that. This lens, which actually is a microscope eyepiece, was sold on Ebay a while ago. Someone on another forum discovered it's sharpness and lack of CA, after which a run on this eyepiece started. No wonder, since it was only 10 dollar
The LED lamp is indeed only for focussing. In the setup shot I have covered the top of the lamp with aluminum foil so it could act as a reflector. Which failed miserably by the way.
@goldenorfe: haha, yep that's *slightly* more difficult. Unless the wasp would sit absolutely still for 100 shots in a row
Bravo
