There's a few hundred images of our species of wasps on the interweb which can be downloaded easy enough, but there's nothing like having one's own photos. Photographing wasps is hazardous as the stings are painful and can cause a lot of swelling and even death for some people. It's important not to kill the subject as it just curls up and is no longer useful. I caught the subjects in a clean jar and deprived it of oxygen long enough to sedate it somewhat. A lot of shots were taken through the jar, but also by releasing the insect and letting it roam around a bit before recovering too much from being locked in the jar. A proper macro lens on a DSLR camera gave best results. Now to process the 500 or so images!
