Thank you guys:)

The wasp was pretty friendly, it sat down in front of me, let me take the pic and then moved on. Not threatening at all, which means a lot since I'm a chicken :oops:

Good stuff bea, must be easier to point the speedlite on them with that setup. I saw my spider again lastnite, you were right about it missing a couple leggs.

Hiya Bea,
Wow thats cracking shot of that wasp & that moth reminds me of a modern art statue we got over here called the 'Gateshead Angel' if you do a Google search of that name you may see what I mean.
Cheers for now

Well, thank you, Mark!

I googled it and you're right, there is a definite resemblance. Art imitates life once again :)
