Alien Bug gets eaten by a WASP captured using Canon EF 100 mm macro lens

From alien bug we come in peace

At first, it looked like it came from the movies. i was clicking pics of the amazing , green colored soft bodied insect which looked like a lady bug that had entered a drag queen competition, when suddenly, outta nowhere, a hungry wasp comes and stings the little fella and devours it right in front of my eyes!!!

i was pretty stunned myself, but i somehow managed to get the shots that i needed.... sad ending to what would have been a cool photo shoot

aperture was set to f 5.6 most of the times to get good depth of field throughout

Insect that looks like a dog captured using Canon Ef 100 mm macro lens

From dog insect

I call the above "Dog Insect" coz it resembles a friendly dog with its tongue out. well, incests dont really have tongues, but this one looks like its got its tongue out.

got a very clear shot of the insect using EF 100 mm f 2.8 macro lens, manual mode and i increased the f stop number to 5.6 to get better depth of field.

One of the most colorful insects i have ever witnessed....the plant hopper was very camera friendly, allowed me to take a few good pics before it hopped away into the sheets of grass.

From transformers bumble bee

a yellow and black striped wasp was building a mud nest at the entrance of our garage and i thanked my lucky stars for being there at the right time with my 100 mm f 2.8 macro. i also thanked my lucky stars again for not being stung by the scary but amazing insect known for not being too friendly to people.

Fast shutter to capture Butterflies and Moths with canon 100 mm macro lens

From iron butterfly (Canon EOS 60D)

A challenging feature in macro photography is using really fast shutter speeds to freeze the action of tiny insects.

Ant on a Cashew shot using Macro mode

From ant on cashew (Canon EOS 60D)

Shooting macro can be really fun if the subject is pretty still. A brilliantly colored ant caught me eye and i had encountered this ant before when i was at the receiving end of its terribly painful bite. So i was very careful this time and used my trusty Canon EF 100 mm f 2.8 macro to capture some good images.
