You might never want to get this close to a Paper Wasp, especially the other end, but through the wonders of extreme macro you can count the hairs on its head in total safety!

Nikon D850, 50mm f/1.4 AIS Nikkor (reversed) on a PB-6 Bellows. 195mm of extension plus the reversal gave a total of 5x on the sensor. 34 images focus stacked in Photoshop.
