@DiBickers Thanks. Like so many of Nature's insects, they are spectacular at this macro scale. And thanks for all of your identification work. Tim

@DiBickers Thankyou. In case you're not aware, I've written a DSLR photography guide for @AaronClausen which can be found under the 'Add a sighting' tab above. It explains how I take macro images such as this wasp and might be of some use to you. Regards, Tim
