I found this little fellow on the lavender bush on brought him in to get some shots.
Not sure of the ID but I believe it is an Ichneumon Wasp family Ichneumonidae. That is my guess out of 82,000 species.
Taken with Canon 30D, Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens with fully extended bellows. 1/250s @ f5.6 ISO 100
Compiled from 26 images in Zerene Stacker.
Lighting from diffused speedlight.
Mounted on black stainless steel pin which was cloned out in CS5.
