I'm sorry that I haven't posted here for a little while.

I got the better of a wasp that tried to sting me today and thought it would make a great subject for some focus stacking.

As you can see, the wasp's sting is very sharp and smooth allowing easy removal after it has been delivered. Due to this the wasp survives and lives to sting another day. This is unlike the bee who has a barbed sting which causes it to be detached from the bee, after it is delivered, killing the bee.

That sting and the bags of poison look lethal

This is the same wasp shot with the camera on my phone.

Thanks for taking a look at my photography.
