 Image Number D018-1 |
Manual montage image (a technique pioneered by Klaus Bolte© of Canada) of a Balcha sp. wasp, a potentially beneficial insect that attacks the ash borer. To create this image, the wasp specimen was dissected-legs, antennae, wings, and other body parts separated-then the parts were digitally captured and reassembled in Photoshop. This technique allows exquisite detail to be shown.
