A mason wasp and a bee which I haven't a clue what it is. ID needed and welcomed.
Lighting a bit harsh on the bee as I never had my diffuser with me :-(

Nice wasp shot Alby. Those wings don't look large enough to carry him around.

Good shots Alby, but your diffuser makes a big difference. How did you make it?

Thanks Brian it was quite a large wasp about 1 and a half times the size of a common wasp.

Thanks Irwin, these were taken with my panasonic and the diffuser is made out of an old toilet paper tube :-) lined with tinfoil. I think it works quite well.
Here is a post I did earlier making a diffuser that also works well on my canon 430ex flash. https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=350914
