You were brave to get THIS close to the deadly wasp. Well, even if you're not allergic to their venom, their sting hurts like the DEVIL! Very awesome shot. #1396005

Saw this view W/O camera as a 12 yr old when I was stung on the end of the nose.
& YES IT WAS MY OWN FAULT ;o)

Nice Macro

Extension tubes or not, that's too close for me! Fantastic macro! #9555178

Bob Cammarata July 26, 2011

Thanks michelle, Jack, Usman and Courtenay for your nice comments.

This is the second time I've tempted fate with this painful and highly protective species of wasp.
Thankfully in both instances, no attack command was ordered and I was allowed to sneak in to get my photos and quietly back away without getting nailed.

Great photographers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.
