This is my preserved Carpenter Bee that I collected last summer. They thrive around our kennel building and they bore the most perfect round holes in the trusses of the outdoor runs. They are quite aggressive although they don't sting and the boards out there are starting to look like swiss cheese over the years.
This is a focus stacked image comprised of 459 images processed with Zerene Stacker. I used a reversed 50mm lens mounted on a bellows and utilized my goto method of lighting diffusion with constant LED lights.
As always, thanks in advance to all who view and for your comments, suggestions, questions, and critique.
