What did you use?

I'd have used wasp spray. :lmao:

Beautiful shots, as usual. Remind me of some Charlie (cgipson) took this summer. I love my macro, but there is NO way I'm getting quite this close, for that long, to a hornet.

Great pics! Some of the best I have seen. I hate those little F^&*(( though.

thanks everyone for comments
I used D300 and 70/180 macro nikon 1:1 + extension tube kenko 20mm
crop is only 5-10% for best composition
