Difficult Framing - _TNY_9568P2

Some bugs have proportions which make them easier to photograph and other, well, they make it a bit tricky.

 

Like this female braconid wasp in the Macrocentrus genus, which has antennae just as long as the body - plus an ovipositor even longer than that!

 

So, how to frame that properly when you have the MP-E65 on the camera, making it physically impossible to fit it in frame as I can't shoot at less than 1:1?

 

I chose to attempt another one of the bug panorama shots so this is two shots stitched together into one. I'm thankful the little wasp stayed still for me.
