Late summer is the right time to find dead insects at home. Here we have a hornet which just fell down from the sky in the living room. I took the chance to make a close-up photo of this majestetic flying insect.
Photos were taken with the Pentax K1 II and the Pentax DFA 100mm F2.8 Macro.

I used the Pentax K1 II and the Pentax 300mm F4.
