Wasp captured when it was thawing after the winter on the sun

I don't know the name of the insect, but I was testing my new macro-lens.

One of a set of anaglyph macros I shot of bumblebees in my garden. Shot with a Nikon D200 and a de Wijs stereo macro lens. Post-processed into anglyphs using Photohop.
