An awesome amount of detail here, Balan.  I especially love the eye.  The warm brown and yellow colors are very inviting.

I agree with Mark, Balan. Outstanding detail. Especially the eyes. Very nice light as well on the subject against the dark bg. devil

If you want to know the magnification I would suggest graph paper instead of a paper wasp :). The wasp has nice colours which really show off in the soft light against the black/gray background. Those black spots in the eyes are fascinating. I only find the 'black hole' in the llc somewhat distracting. Nice catch.
