Wasp in flight
Getting Wasps to come in to a certain plant is made easier by putting a dab of honey on the head.

5d mk2
100mm macro
high speed flash
iso 100
f/16
shutter 1/200
cable release

Whose head Dale, yours, the wasp's or the plants? :biggrin: :wink: Great stuff again, I'm very tempted to buy one of those infra-red triggers, to get shots I'll never get manually.

Very good stuff !
I think a flower as opposed to a seed head would have been good , regarding the honey info.
Cheers
