These wasps don't sting and are harmless to humans. OM-1 + M.Zuiko ED 300mm IS Pro. Wow - exceptionally crisp and clear image, Des!,

Andrena (unidentified as of now) on Pagoda Dogwood in our yard. Another Andrena bee on Virginia Waterleaf - a great spring plant which is slowly spreading in our yard. Hylaeus Bee on Prairie Rose:

Des Loyal Site Supporter Join Date: Jan 2014 Location: Victoria Australia Photos: Albums Posts: 6,840	Originally posted by K2 to K50 Wow - exceptionally crisp and clear image, Des!, Thanks very much Peter. I have to say that focus bracketing/stacking is a great feature for macro and pseudo-macro where DOF is so thin. I'd love to see Pentax introduce it in some form, even if they don't go to the extent of in-camera stacking. While the in-camera stacking in the OM-1 is good and very convenient, processing the images and stacking with Zerene Stacker gives a better result. And it's a snack to use.

Des Loyal Site Supporter Join Date: Jan 2014 Location: Victoria Australia Photos: Albums Posts: 6,840	Who knew wasps could be so striking? Orchid Dupe Wasp (Lissopimpla excelsa), so named because males pollinate a particular orchid (Crypostylis leptochila) by trying to mate with the flowers. OM-1 + M.Zuiko 40-140 f2.8 Pro + MC-14 TC.

Great shot, Des. Been a while since I spotted one of those. I think this is the same bug - taken April 2020! The eye is showing much better in your pic.

I think this is the same bug - taken April 2020! Thanks Peter. That's a nice shot, with a setting and clean background. The angle you got shows more of the body markings.

Most of these are probably cross- posts, but whatever........ K3P33665_DxO K3P33647_DxO K3P33588_DxO K3P33522_DxO K3P32349_DxO

Most of these are probably cross- posts, but whatever........ If you did post them elsewhere, I either don't remember or did not see them. In any case, a fine group. A couple or true bugs (Hemipera or Heteropters,whichever name you prefer). One out in the open, the other hiding in a Queen Anne's Lace that is starting to open.
