Volucella pellucens in the "studio"

Lord Vetinari

Trapped this largish hoverfly , Volucella pellucens, on the kitchen window with a glass and piece of card, gave it a spot of honey to keep it occupied and took some shot sequences.
5Dmk2/MPE-65/430Ex flash and some hand focus stacking.

Nice sequence Brian. I think the bugs in your garden have got to like you

Great shots as always Brian. Lokks like something punched this guy in the nose. Look how it is pooched out??
