This is one of my preserved Paper Wasps. This summer one tagged my hand when I was taking the cover off the hot tub and it hurt like the dickens for a few days. I don't believe this is the one although keeping it in a bottle of alcohol is my revenge.
I staged this wasp for a focus stacked session using a Laowa 60mm 2X super macro lens (Nikon F-mount) mounted on a Fujifilm X-T20 mirrorless camera with an X-mount to F-mount adapter. It is a 170 image stack spaced at 50-micron increments each. Illumination was constant multiple LED lamps with DIY diffusion.
As always, thanks in advance to all who view and for your comments, suggestions, questions, and critique.
