My friend the Wasp


I have denominated of this form the image, because it is the first time that an insect of these, has allowed me to approach to me less than 10 cm. to photograph it.

It was a very windy day and being something cold also (in spite of the outpost spring) the insect was enough calm.

Whenever I opened the high grass where one was grasp (and with force as it is appraised in the image), it turned his head and it watched to me cautiously, but without spirits to attack nor to move away.

Thus I was taking trust and bring near more and more until catching several interesting images.

Lamentably I have not been able to identify it in spite of my investigations... little I know these insects, perhaps although it corresponds to a species of Polistes.

Surely some of the TN friends will have greater security about this and can help me.

As Workshop I publish a second image (of inferior quality) when the wasp got tired of my interference and it starts off in flight... perhaps it contributes with its classification.

Great macro Ricardo. Amazing detail. Good work

Fantastic photo, the details and light are great. I also like the clever composition of the grass blades and wasp.

Hi Ricardo.
A very good macro with good details and nice colours,
great compostion and note.
Great work.

Very good close-up, focus a bit soft on the head.
I like the background.
Well done.

Superb macro, the detail is impressive. Composition and DoF is very good. I also like the 'take-off' shot in your workshop, a very different perspective of wasp morphology.

Very good composition with big X made by grass. Great details on this big-eyed wasp and good note.

Absolutely stunning! The sharpness is great and so is the DOF. Very well done.

Thanks for posting

Great macro of this wasp Ricardo. The details are very well seen and thanks for the bonus view. The composition is very bold and while I like this personally I would have cropped a little differently to get the leave off the corner centre - but that's a personal taste issue. Well done.

Si me preguntaran que esta haciendo, diria que midiendo con sus antenas el ancho de la hebra fresca donde está posada. Esta claro que no hay nada mejor que el sol para sacar de un insecto oscuro todos sun detalles, en este caso con un control muy bueno de la sobre iluminación. Gracias Ricardo.

Grande Ricardo, gosto das composições diagonais que você geralmente faz. Ficam sempre muito bonitas.

A foto mostra o inseto em todo seu esplendor.

Parabéns.
