Really Beautiful capture. For some reason this wasp reminds me of a "precious moments" collectable figurine!:)

This is amazing! I was stung by a black wasp two days ago and my whole forearm has turned bright red. Be careful! (Was this alive when you photographed it?)

Another beauty laurie, great macro.

Great work. Can we have some detail on this please: was it alive/image stacking/lens used/extenders/software used to process - always wanted to do something like this but would like to know what it takes

For this shot:- The subject is dead. Magnification is around 10:1 Lens used - Nikon 10x/0.30 CF plan N objective. Extension used - bellows at approx 160mm extension. Software used: Zerene stacker (PMAX method) Shots in stack - 221 at 6 micron focus steps. Hope this helps!
