You might spot me at Kirra Beach, the South-Eastern end of the Gold Coast, Australia, if you like beach walking like myself... but there is more ! My son Jeff (*jif3d*, here at Rendo, it helps to advertise, ooops)... he took this pic of me in 2000, then manipulated it in photo-shop and it's still one of my favourites. Just very briefly about my past... *born in East Prussia; *grew up in Berlin, West Germany; *migrated to "OZ" in 1960, (not the Wizard of Oz) but...AUSTRALIA ! I guess I was more into '2D' since early childhood, and thinking that my son Jeff may have inherited some of my artistic skills, because he translated them into '3D'. I am hooked on photography, since I discovered cameras... that's it in a nutshell. BTW - one of my fav.quotes.... ** I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is trying to please everybody !** that's a wrap... Cheers Brigitte.

Big, creepy and I'm glad I'm not a spider ! A very brave capture and neat DOF ! ~Cheers~

Looks like it only has a single pair of wings, so it can't be a wasp. Might be a cranefly or something, though.

So beautiful! I have no idea about insects except UK ones.

I don't know either, but it's pretty...in a picture! Not sure I'd want to be too close to one!

Wonderful colors and amazing macro.

A super macro and a very interesting shape. I've never seen one like this [and hope I never come close to one either] and he is obviously ready to give someone a nasty sting with colouring like that. Well spotted.

Excellent shot, but I don't think this is a wasp, I guess it belongs to the mosquito family...

I wonder if this is some type of moth imitating the look of a wasp- it really does resemble the Ichneumonid you mentioned, but it does not have a tapered waist and the head is bent down and much smaller than a wasp that has mandibles for chewing. Certainly an interesting specimen to capture, and perhaps a rare an unique species- do you know anyone that would be able to positively identify it? Could be a new discover in fact! Wouldn't that be cool?! You could then name it!
