I agree with Leona. The closest I want to get to a wasp is looking at your great shots!

Thanks for the kind comments. I shot these with a Minolta 300MM lens on my Sony A200, so I was not too close

Great! Love that beautiful bokeh on the second one, and the first one made me draw back from the computer screen, while saying Yikes!

Great macro shots. The first one is my favorite. You must have gone eye to eye with her.
