Last year Paul D. Brock emailed me via my WordPress contact page to ask if he could use an image of a male wasp I had photographed back in the sumemr of 2019 called Ichneumon xanthorius.
Of course I agreed, and they sent me a complimentary copy of the book. Note they flipped my original image to suit their page layout.

Congratulations, Pete. Always a thrill to get an image published. It was certainly well deserved as this particular photo shows excellent detail and just the right angle for identification. 🙂
Insect macros are not necessarily easy as the subject can move and a less identifiable pose can be captured within a short amount of time.

Well, this was an interesting post. I was happy for you, of course. It’s great fun to see our photos put to new use. I also was intrigued enough by the name to go looking for it’s relationship to Darwin. I found it; there’s a great article here about the behavior of this sort of wasp.
