This was the 'freezer proof' wasp mentioned in my last thread in the "Equipment" forum - http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/v ... php?t=4410 - another few hours in the freezer seem to have finished her off...
I managed to clean off the worst fluff using a tiny paintbrush, while looking at the wasp through the camera, still got a load of pollen of something in the fine hair on the top of the head but I think it's still okay!
I actually did quite a deep stack on this one but in the end I only used the front half of the pictures as when I ran the full stack and got more of the hairy body in focus it didn't look as good...
Shot with Olympus E330, OM Auto Bellows, OM50/1.8 reversed, Macro twinflash. Black velvet background a long way behind the subject. Bellows and micromanipulator (subject holder) are now screwed firmly to an old wooden sink cover.
