Paper Wasp photographed at the Laguna Seca Ranch in South Texas April 30, 2020.

1/12,800 Shutter Speed
f/5.6
ISO 3200

Tried various shutter speeds beginning at 3200.  Found that it takes about 12,800 shutter speed to freeze the wings.

Better detail viewed large.

Excellent detail, pose, and freeze of the wings.

Nice shot, insects in flight has to be one of the more difficult things to achieve.  Would this be with the A9 electronic shutter?
