This is one of my preserved red paper wasps. I find them to be quite aggressive around the house and I've been tagged by them many times. It's strange, however, that they pay no attention to me when I am in the field on a walkabout.

This is a "single-shot" macro image taken from a low vantage point and getting as close as the macro lens would focus. Of course, the depth of field is quite shallow even at f/16, 1/60th second, ISO-200, and Diffused flash at 1/4.

Thanks, Curmudgeon. This is what they look like when they buzz-bomb me around the yard.

Even without your usual stacking that is an impressive, if not downright frightening image.
