Ruby-Tailed Wasp

I'm pretty pleased with this shot as this little beastie is only around 10mm long and I didn't have my macro lens to hand. I took it using my Olympus 40-150mm Pro lens instead.

Taken on Skokholm Island.

I'd be well chuffed if I'd taken that one Keith, those jewel colours against the wood background are magical.
