This is insanely impressive.
I have NO IDEA how you were able to get such a candid shot of a wasp no less!!!

Also, check out my gallery for my other wasp shot. You can see the adult as well as the larvae inside the nest chambers.

First off, thank you so much. I really appreciate it!
And second, I was able to get the shot by being extremely patient and only creeping closer and closer. Not to mention taking LOTS of shots and hoping I got lucky.

Thank you!! It took quite a while to slowly creep up, moving the tripod closer an inch at a time and she did not take her eyes off me.

Great Shot! Looks more like a giant ant than a wasp.

This is fantastic! Again, I can't believe you got so close for this, but it really paid off! I particularly love the detail in the eyes and the tones

Thank you! I had to slowly creep the tripod closer, inch by inch, to finally get this close. I love the hairs on its face!!
