Thank you both....

Not bad for hand held and naturally lit.....

Nature is amazing....

Even if they are nasty stingy things

 

[Tezz450D]

Yep nasty stingy things the wasps are...dont mind hover flies, they dont sting...

Great set BTW...fantastic macro work

 

[IanClark]

Great shots of the wasp. The other one is a Hover fly... well, a Drone fly (looks more like) which is part of the Hoverfly species.
