p.1 #1 · A lovely chalcid wasp

Found this rather striking chalcid wasp wandering around on a sun chair yesterday tracking something with it's antennae. Unfortunately even the flash did not stop it's wandering (it often does with small wasps).
About 1.4mm body length - taken at 5:1 FF and cropped slightly.
5Dmk2/MPE-65/430Ex flash

Thanks for looking and commenting John

- appreciated

Think these are all single shots - I did manage one part focus stack but didn't like it as much as the single shots. Luckily these things are small enough to get a resonable amount in focus even at F5.0
