It may not look it but this Wasp is fairly small. This is a hand held focus stack comprising of 48 images. It was in an awkward position to get to on the shrub but holding the pine needle in one hand and camera in the other I was able to get this resulting image. Why didnt it fly away? Insects are exothermic (cold blooded) they need to warm up before they start daily activities. I was able to gently grab the pine needle and gather the images I wanted without the wasp flying away as it was first thing in the morning. Age might be a factor here too as you can see in the wings they have seen better days!

 

 

I feel like that wasp!
