An acquaintance has set up a hide and reflection pool to photograph these German Wasps, Vespula germanica. They are attracted by honey solution squirted into the edge of the water. I shot over 1400 photographs in a little over an hour, and most were rubbish, but I got plenty of keepers. I never thought I would ever get photos like these!

Canon 180mm macro on Canon 7Dii. These are all selective enlargements from part of the frame, sometimes considerably so.
