Insect photographers spend a lot of effort increasing depth of field. Focus-stacks, small apertures. And that's great, I do some of that too, but there's nothing wrong with a dreamy, shallow depth photo.
Here's Prionyx parkeri, a thread-waisted wasp, in Arizona.

A Sceliphron mud dauber wasp carries a glob of mud back to her mud nest, the weight of her load counterbalanced by her unusual petiolate abdomen. Texas. #sceliphron #sphecidae #wasp #insects #flight

Mexican grass-carrying wasp (Isodontia mexicana) dragging a paralyzed tree cricket into its nest. The species is now in Europe, too, showing up first in France in the early 1960s. #wasps #insects #entomology #nature #BeeHotel #InsectHotel #isodontia #sphecidae #orthoptera

Managed to get a photograph of the parent today. Given the all-black color and pale hair I think this is a Mexican grass-carrying wasp (Isodontia mexicana). #wasps #insects #entomology #nature #BeeHotel #InsectHotel #isodontia #sphecidae

UPDATE: Here's the wasp larva after just three (3!) days eating tree crickets. What a piglet. #wasps #insects #entomology #nature #BeeHotel #InsectHotel #isodontia #sphecidae

Exciting news: a grass-carrying wasp (Isodontia sp.) has moved into the observation panel at my insect hotel. The shiny yellow object on the right is the wasp egg. The tree crickets are all alive but paralyzed. #wasps #insects #entomology #TreeCricket #nature #BeeHotel #InsectHotel #isodontia #sphecidae
