This is another drowning victim of the dog's outdoor water bowl. It was beyond the help of CPR and moth-to-moth so there was no hope for it in this world.

So...never letting a focus stacking opportunity go to waste, I brought it in and staged it using the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 1X-2X Super Marco lens as the optic for the session. The magnification was dialed in to fill the frame with the subject which was about 1.5X.

Seeing the details in each portion of the wasp is exceptional.
A great stack, Gary!

Thanks, Elliott. I have several lenses and optics and this is among my favorites up to 2X.

Thanks, Quixdraw. These red ones are more aggressive around the yard compared to others that I come across.

The wasps out here are really strange, the least aggressive I've encountered in the 6 states I've lived in.

Quixdraw, It's quite strange for me for I can be in the field among them and they pay no attention to me. I walk around the yard and I get tagged from one out of nowhere. A few summers ago one got me on the top of my head and that hurt like the dickens.

Had the same happen twice out here, standing still, not near anything, never even saw what hit me! Both times in the left arm.

Thanks, Penny. There are several steps that I need to go through for a session and it takes a bit of time to crunch the stack of images into a final single image, however, it gives me something to do that I enjoy.
