Bee Wolf with Prey

Description

Technique: I watched this Bee Wolf (Philanthus triangulum) struggling to get a honeybee into its nest, and spooked it when I got close enough to shoot it. So I camped out at the entrance waiting until I saw its antenna sticking up before framing and focusing where I thought it would be.

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F16, 1/250, ISO 200 with highlight tone priority) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (over 1x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on the Canon flash mount, E-TTL metering with -1 2/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
