Hornet - Studio stack

I found this hornet twitching on the pavement so though I'd do a studio stack with it at home.

 

197 images stacked in zerene stacker, Dmap retouched with Pmax. f2.8 aperture, last image stopped down to f8, 1/100 second, Sigma 150mm macro. Single flashgun diffused through paper and a reflector.

 

Probably my most ambitious stack so far. Took a whole day to prepare, shoot and process but well worth it.
