At about 3 centimetres this is a huge Mud Wasp. Luckily they aren’t savage unless they catch you messing with their nest, then watch out. I found this one near the Cockfighter Creek.

Incredible shot, Robert. Glad it was you sticking your camera in close enough for a shot and not me, LOL. Detail is superb!

Thank you everyone. Actually they aren’t aggressive and if you do disturb their nest they will usually just buzz you. Then the sight of that thing a few inches from your face gets you moving :-)

I'm very far behind in my comments due to some recent family issues so please forgive this generic comment. I have viewed this image and found it to be very good. I didn't want to pass it by with out mentioning it's beauty. Thank you for sharing it with us. You have created a very beautiful image and I envy your talent. I hope to view more of your work and give a more personal comment in the near future. Your images are awsome. Very sharp macro.

Now that's good. What lens did you use to capture that? This is a keeper for my animal collection.

Wow, he's nicely color coordinated, isn't he? What a great closeup, but I'm glad it's just a photo. He looks nice against the green background.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Incredible macro Robert! The detail is so bold and the colors are so vivid. You have high quality and clarity as well. When viewing this full screen, the viewer really has a chance to see what a mud wasp looks like close-up. I am glad it is on my screen and not on me!!
Thanks for sharing this with me ;=)
