Surprise Camouflage - _TNY_3031S3

A male marmalade hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus) on a imperforate St John's-wort (Hypericum maculatum) where the yellow wasp mimicry became more if a camouflage.

 

This is a manual focus stack made from three exposures and combined using Photoshop CC 2015 as my dedicated stacking software thought there were to much movement between the shots and went mental about it.
