    This parasitic wasp was having a field day amongst the aphids!

    Nice action shot Noley. I believe it is a Ichneumon Wasp. Very difficult to identify within that family, exactly the spicies name.

    This is a lot smaller than an ichneumon Dave, about a third of the size of the standard ichneumon.
    I love Ichneumon wasps, especially the red ones…serious insects :D

    Triffic! Behavior like this is quite difficult to catch. luck has a bit to do with it, but also knowing your subject. Noely you seem to be great at catching interesting behavior.

    you should be given a complementary ring flash and a 100mm macro lens, or an MPE-65! Id love to see what you would do with that kit!

    God don’t encourage him. Have to agree would love to see the outcome.
    Noely your macros always are a bit different from the norm(if there is such a macro) keep them coming mate.

    Without a doubt. I came across this critter earlier this week. Managed to get a few shots before he legged it.

    Gladiators let the battle commence. Only joking the quality coming through on this forum and this section in particular is incredible.
