Found this in the top of a bush by the side of the road in a shopping district.
First image is uncropped, second cropped.
Estimate the wasps are ~10mm long. If you squint you can see the larvae in the second image.
Handheld, D300, Sigma 150mm, flash on home-made bracket.

Fantastic shots both...........amazing detail and colour:

I am going to have to dig even deeper under logs and bark to find my subjects as they dig in against the cold..........we have had our first real frosts over the past few nights :
