Description Shot with reverse Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens and extension tubes

The wasp was already dead... that helped me quite a lot to get these photos.

German wasp (Vespula germanica)


Many thanks to to =Berryness for suggesting and ^dandelgrosso for featuring this as a DD

Egads, that's some epic clarity you got going. Also, it's TERRIFYING! (But that may be mostly due to my apiphobia)

Moepling In reply to kaiomutaru25 [2008-12-15 13:12:34 +0000 UTC]

well I didnt touch it with my hands, its too small to really do that, I used a very tiny branch. And I put it in the garden later, but I didnt really bury it
