A macro look at a wasp
-
A completely opportunistic shot. My husband Nick and I were picnicking in a beautiful leafy little valley in the Brenta Dolomites of northern Italy, when Nick spotted this. It appears to be a solitary wasp of sorts, sitting on a fist-sized comb and she is feeding and tending to her larvae which you can actually see in the cells. As with many macros, I couldn’t appreciate what was going on until I processed the image. Ain’t nature wonderful?! ;o)

At first I was naturally terrified when I was stung on the end of my nose by a radioactive bee which had escaped from the local research laboratory; though in time I found it did have its benefits. I used to tire of queing for hours at a bar – never to be served – and now everyone is so polite. They leap to their feet and leave me their food and drink instantly. The only danger comes in the form of a irate bar man with a silly fly swatter and I find a couple of quick jabs in the rear seems to cease his outbursts. I must admit I was a little worried by the prospect of being smothered in fly spray but being still part human it does little damage apart from causing mild discomfort and an itchy bum. I have been warmly welcomed by my fellow wasps who see me as their champion, well lets face it we have a sort of tarnished past. I just consider it ignorance and a lack of understanding. My local hive have made me Captain – Captain Stinger. / So for all of those out there who are still considering wether to purchase one of my highly collectable prints. Think about it quick lest you recieve a visit from my friends this Summer! / . /

UPDATE!!!!!!!!! / http://bugguide.net/node/view/6946 / This is actually called a Cookoo Wasp…named so because the female lays her eggs among other egg laying insects where her young will then feed on the other insects. / YUMMY

Wasp
by Marleia MainEast Greenbush, N.Y. / August 2008 / A wasp is any insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita that is neither a bee nor ant. The suborder Symphyta, known commonly as sawflies, differ from members of Apocrita by having a broader connection between the mesosoma and metasoma. In addition to this, Symphyta larvae are mostly herbivorous and “caterpillarlike”, whereas those of Apocrita are largely predatory or “parasitic” (technically known as parasitoid). / The most familiar wasps belong to Aculeata, a division of Apocrita, whose ovipositors are adapted into a venomous stinger, though a great many species do not sting. Aculeata also contains ants and bees, and many wasps are commonly mistaken for bees, and vice-versa. In a similar respect, insects called “velvet ants” (the family Mutillidae) are technically wasps. / A much narrower and simpler but popular definition of the term wasp is any member of the aculeate family Vespidae, which includes (among others) the genera known in North America as yellowjackets (Vespula and Dolichovespula) and hornets (Vespa); in many countries outside of the Western Hemisphere, the vernacular usage of wasp is even further restricted to apply strictly to yellowjackets (e.g., the “common wasp”). / Categorization The various species of wasp fall into one of two main categories: solitary wasps and social wasps. Adult solitary wasps generally live and operate alone, and most do not construct nests; all adult solitary wasps are fertile. By contrast, social wasps exist in colonies numbering up to several thousand strong and build nests—but in some cases not all of the colony can reproduce. In the more advanced species, just the wasp queen and male wasps can mate, whilst the majority of the colony is made up of sterile female workers. / (wiki) /

I adore this little wasp. One can truly appreciate their beauty when viewed so closely – when all the intricate details God gave her can truly be seen. My heart aches a little bit knowing her time here is almost done (hence the title). The days and nights are getting colder and autumn is almost apon us. The back lighting & lens flare I added to the raindrop under her bottom foot is my representation of her upcoming transition….goodbye sweetheart. Bugs are Beautiful / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST /

A Yellow Flower Wasp – very common across Australia. Not sure what species this is, possibly of family Tiphiidae or Scoliidae, but there are lots of species that look very similar so I haven’t a clue really. Entomologists, can you help me? Nikon D70, Sigma 105mm Macro, Sigma EM-140 ring flash

This Blue Ant was found struggling for life just after being caught in a rain storm in one of Sydney’s national parks. Despite its name this is actually a wingless female wasp from the Tiphiidae family. They are approximately 23 millimetres long with a polished blue-green body and reddish legs.

Wasp Spider
by JokusCanon EOS 350D, Canon lens 49mm, Macro mode, 1/250 sec, F/5,6 / Photo made August 12, 2009 in Genk, Belgium, Europe Argiope bruennichi, or the Wasp Spider, is a species of orb-web spider distributed throughout central Europe, Northern Europe, north Africa and parts of Asia. Like many other members of the genus Argiope, (including St Andrew’s Cross spiders), it shows striking yellow and black markings on its abdomen. The spider builds a spiral orb web at dawn or dusk, commonly in long grass a little above ground level, taking it approximately an hour. The prominent zigzag shape called the stabilimentum, or web decoration, featured at the centre of the orb is of uncertain function, though it may be to attract insects. / Source Wikipedia / / / Featured in Insects, Bugs and Creepy Crawlies, Top Shelf Wildlife & Nature Art

Was hard to tell if this was an Ant, Fly or Wasp.. After taking this shot, and looking up close, was obvious it was a species of fly, and after 2 or 3 hours of rumaging through web pages, I found it’s type. Photographed in my backyard, was sitting on a Halicon plant leaf. Noosaville, Queensland, Australia. Canon 5D Mk II, 65mm, 5x. Available very large.. To appreciate this little guy, please view large!!

This wasp has just started building a nest a bachelor’s pad for now.. Instead of pesticide why not move this colourful beauty to somewhere less harmful. Also use ladybugs instead of pesticide they kill all the garden nasties. 5D mk2 IS0 400 f/16 1/80 sec 65 MPE MAcro 2.5X

Damselflies… Photo taken in Omaha, NE Azure Damselfly Widespread and common. Adults can be seen between May and August according to locality. Similar in habits and distribution to its close relative C. pulchellum. C. puella is less common than it on cutover bogs and mesotrophic lakes, but more common on eutrophic sites. A lowland species avoiding exposed and upland sites, as well as all but the slowest flowing rivers. The male Azure Damselfly is similar to the Variable Damselfly Coenagrion pulchellum and the Common Blue Damselfly Enallagma cyathigerum but can be distinguished by the characteristic black U-shaped marking which does not join up with the black ring at the posterior end of the second abdominal segment. In the female Azure damselfly there are two colour forms, blue and green. The blue form is similar to the female of the Variable Damselfly Coenagrion pulchellum but can best be distinguished by examining the shape of the pronotum. It can be distinguished from females of the Common Blue Damselfly Enallagma cyathigerum by the absence of a spine below the 8th abdominal segment. KEY IDENTIFICATION FEATURES In males there is a characteristic black U-shaped mark on the second abdominal segment which is separate from the black ring at the bottom of the segment In segments 4-6 there is more blue/less black in comparison with Coenagrion pulchellum In males the blue dorsal thoracic stripes are always complete and only slightly waisted The hind margin of the pronotum is broad and flattened (see comparison of pronotums of blue damselflies) Females are best identified by examining the shape of the posterior lobe of the pronotum In females there are two black stripes on the side of the thorax There is no spine below the 8th abdominal segment

Thanks to Voltaire Carlos for loaning me his wasp to photograph. Two photos taken at f/11, 1/200sec, ISO 800 and focus merged then high-pass sharpen in Photoshop. (effectively, one photo for each eye, to combat the extremely shallow DoF at 3.5x) The Mortein Fast Knockdown was out. A moment of silence if you please. At Voltaire’s home planet, Sydney South, NSW.
