You can always pretend you did it on purpose to show the wiring inside :-)
He would have been a lot more severly damaged had I been handling him

so who or what took a nip out of his right antenna? He looks less

Fun shot and such amazing detail

Clumsy handling on my part. The antenna broke off when I transferred
it from the setting board to the photo board.
Guess I was too fascinated to have found an unexpected species and
forgot to be careful.

This wasp looks like a yellowjacket, and will parasitise them in the
Americas. Other species are targeted in the Eastern hemisphere.
Its strategy is to take over a nest with only a handful of workers
by killing or ousting the other queen, and then coaxing the workers
to feed it and tending its own larvae. Nasty little bugger.
645D with 200mm f/4 and a 55mm reversed (~3,9X magnification). Lit
by two diffused flashes. Stacked in Zerene Stacker from 40-ish images.
