I miss the warmth and colors of summer however I don't miss the wasps with their never ending battle over whose home this is. This is one of my several preserved wasps that lost this battle that I staged for a focus stacking session.

I tweaked the flocking of my gear a bit more last night and I think that it is now "vampire approved" for it is as dead black as I can possibly make it and I will produce several more before I consider the results to be a success.

As always, thanks in advance to all who view and for your comments, suggestions, questions and critique.

Nice. It's safer on that end of the insect.

Amazing face on that Wasp. It's eyes are different from others I have seen. They are fascinating insects in so many ways and your close-ups really show complex they actually are. Thanks Sippy .

A fine shot of the three ocelli centered between the wasp's two compound eyes.
