I just use the ambient light from the morning (overcast but bright). No doubt, the overall white paint in the room helped. I used a 105mm macro with a 35mm extension tube, stopped down to f/32, for the photo - sharp optics. Also, I applying a couple of sharpening filters in Photoshop, the unsharp mask overall, and then smart sharpen just on the Wasp!

I'm glad the diaper cartons held up under the weight of you, your tripod and your camera! That would have been a nasty fall. Nice photo you got, too! Wow! Did you have a light on the wasp? How did you get such crisp detail? Good thing it was sleepy/torpid and unperturbable...
