~Ohh got a great angle on the jaw section - I always find it tricky to get a nice low down behind the head shot like this (normally as bugs like to be all on the ground and hard to get down to

He finally kicked the bucket.. so this a dead wasp shot! At 9am he was fine.... 10am, laying on the bottom of his cage next to his little food and water bowls. Dead wasps are much easier to shoot! lol!

Is it soaked in bug killer?

No... although he probably got a little when I took out the nest... that might be what killed him!

Thanks Overread! Took a little playing with. While dead subjects don't fight back, his head was also tilted down... made it a bit more difficult to get.

Very very interesting angle. Just about never Get that in nature. Nice lighting, and overall. I like the composition and pose. Very good work, sir.
