  1. 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.

  43. 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
