    A TALE OF TWO WASPS BY FRANK DESCHANDOL

    Frank’s original aim was to photograph the vibrant cuckoo wasp (right) as he’d located a suitable sandy bank near his home in Normandy, France. He set up an infrared beam that would fire the shutter when a wasp flew past it and customized his own ultra-fast shutter out of old hard drive parts, so although the exposure was five seconds, the sensor was only exposed to light for a fraction of this. Despite the extremely narrow depth of field and tiny subjects, he captured not only the cuckoo wasp, but also the red-banded sand wasp (left). Though these two species don’t regularly interact, Frank was gifted a perfectly balanced composition by the insects’ flight paths to their nest holes.
