7-frame day… by rhoing

7-frame day…

I initially posted something else and was going to post this to another site, but I really like the detail, the background and the pastel colors in this image, so it’s my first change-of-mind-after-posting in a while. It’s a wasp of some kind. I think I’m still awaiting identification of this species at BugGuide.net…

Confirmed at BugGuide as “Sphex habenus” or “Golden-reined Digger Wasp,” a “thread-waisted wasp”; http://bugguide.net/node/view/689274

Image notes: exp. 1/320" at f/6.3, ISO 2500 and 250 mm.

Great closeup with details, but too close for my comfort on a wasp!

@marlboromaam With a lens zoomed out to 250mm, I wasn't necessarily that close! :)
