This yellow/green and black sawfly is quite tricky to photograph. It usually settles some way down amongst the foliage of perennial plants, where it can be seen but not easily photographed or lit. It also seems to prefer, in my garden, balm plants, whose leaves reflect a lot of yellow.

These images are from two sessions, one on blackcurrants and one on goldenrod. They include an example of where a leaves seems to have block the light form one flash gun and another of OOF foreground foliage indicating the narrow angle of view available.

EM-1, Kiron 105mm, f16, twin, TTL RC, off-camera flash, hand-held.
