Where are you going 5 eyes?
Not sure what type of wasp this is but could be related to a Beewolf or even be one but I’ve never caught this angle of one before.

The Abomination!
The camera combo not the beautiful Rufous hummingbird. I love experimenting in photography and the Canon 400mm F2.8 iii worked really well with the Nikon Z9 with the Fringer EF-Z adapter.

Zoom in if you like details
My real pleasure in insects in flight is getting as much detail as possible. Compared to some subjects I shoot these are large and hover a lot so these are quite easy.

Love bee
I did love this lens but it was way too heavy as an insect in flight photographer.
