Awesome shot, was this handheld, it is millimetre perfect. Have an RC, it is the very least this shot deserves ( it should have a lot more).

Wow, I thought it was a good one but didn't expect this response, specially for a wasp!! so my many thanks to you all. I feel quite humbled.

To AlistairF; nothing exciting or mega expensive alistair, set of tubes from good old Jessops.
