Thanks, they are at the water all the time, clearly having trouble keeping hydrated in the heat wave we are having in the UK at present.

Super shots again Lester.
BTW are these French wasps aggressive? Common or garden UK wasps are bad enough in the Autumn when the cool nights make them bad tempered.

Thanks eccles.

I don't know how agressive they are, they were much more jumpy about me putting an MP-E and 100mm macro in their face than the German Wasps - so if anoyed they be more likely to sting perhaps.

Nice shots...Im new to macro. What setup did you use to take these great pictures?

Thank you very much.

All these are using the Canon 100mm macro and a MT-24Ex macro flash. One shot is ambient light with some fill-in flash, I just set the FEC to -1 2/3rds and switched from manual to Av and upped the iso a bit for that. The exif data will be intact on the file or can be seen at my web page.
