Ah, I wish you the best of luck. Having a specialized macro lens really does help get close and lessens the flattening effect of telephoto lenses at their maximum.

It's nice to see a new photo contest on Steemit! Here is my entry for this round: This is the face of Vespa mandarinia japonica, the Giant Asian Hornet. This is a social wasp and can be found throughout

Thanks for the support @phortun, I'll check out your contest.

Yeah, can't stand bid bots.

Thanks, they are rather large!

Thanks, this one wasn't much of a danger when taking the photos though. :P

Yeah, they can be dangerous. This one is quite big at 3cm, but I had misidentified it! It's not the biggest one, I found one of those today...I'll post the shots from that later!

Thank you @road2horizon!

Yeah, this was found outside my house on the road. :) If one does come into your house, turn out the lights, they will fly towards and out of the windows as having indoor lights on confuses them. Thank

Wow! Thanks a great deal @curie!

Thanks @love-peace I appreciate your support!

Thank you my friend!

Comment for the laughs.

Thanks @maxdevalue!

Thanks @astrophoto.kevin! For these I used a Sony a7R III, with a Sigma 105mm Macro lens, Lightroom for post processing.
