Impressive pictues - 200mm macro & flash by the look of the EXIF?
Only you missed one picture out from the set...

At least you survived, Mike. Very good. No wonder the wasp was upset by the close encounter.
Best regards

Thanks for the info - I'd been wondering about that lens as a cheap alternative to Pentax or Sigma options, so good to see its results... now to find a cheap one (ha ha)

I prefer No 2. The black surface complements the black parts of the wasp, and there's more of it in focus as it's side-on.
You're game Mike!

It was me in the end .. when he came flying straight for me, I think he took exception to the lens touching his face.
Hardly any cropping done to these.. just a bit of tidying up so to speak.
