Hornet (Vespa Crabro) walking around on a wooden bench facing viewer close up macro room for copy text on soft focus background. Landscape format.

This hornet was walking around on the wooden bench so I approached with my 60mm macro lens hand held and captured a set of images. This is one of two best images showing the detailed head and body with the hornet's face towards the very close lens. The soft foreground and background separates the subject and adds room for copy.
