What a wonderful set of images, so much detail. The first one could almost overcome my intense dislike of them.

Superb!

I REALLY hate wasps, but the first 2 I could be friends with (nearly) Wonderful images.

Incredible shots! I have just got my first macro lens and these are the shots that inspired me to try it. What lens do you use?

Wonderful images Rob. Never noticed one with such striking colouration as in number 1. Number 2 is my favourite I think, love the added texture of the dirt and an unusual setting compared to most insect images I see.

I use the Canon 100L with a Raynox DCR-150 attached

Awesome set, I've been after a ruby tailed wasp for ages but the are always too fast.

Amazing stuff Rob - love 1 & 2.

Absolutely superb, that second one looks like you caught it by surprise when it was up to no good.
I wish I'd kept my Raynox now, I had the 250 but sold it when I bought a sigma 105.
Might have to get myself a 150.

1st image is a cracker, i love those little wasps.
I spent some time chasing them in my garden this year, they dont settle for long!
