Sometime get negative feedback on this kind of photos such as the photo shot by dead body of wasp or the wing is cut and the water droplet is added by photoshop.

Even if that were true and the water droplet was added via photoshop, It wouldn't matter! It's still a stunning image, great job! :)

Location
Accidently found this phenomenon at tree in the garden, the wasp might suck the water from it's nest when in wet condition and will blow it as water droplet form from it's mouth.Time
Most of the shooting time after raining day especially sunrise or sunset period.Lighting
In response to get the more in focus area of subject, small aperture is set for photo shooting. Thus, external flash with custom made diffuser is needed.Equipment
Camera : Canon EOS 60D Lens : (Canon EF 100mm F2.8 Macro + Raynox DCR250) or (Tamron SP90mm+Raynox DCR250) or (Tamron AF60mm+Raynox DCR250) Flash : Canon 580EXii + Custom Made Diffuser Others : Hand held without using tripodInspiration
Rare phenomenon situation shoot by photographer. Sometimes waited for 2 hours for wasps blowing water droplet but nothing happen. Furthermore, due to the wasps always moving and so difficult to get good position of the wasp and in focus photos.Approximately 5% of the my photos shot is satisfactory and can be selected for sharing.Editing
Some adjustment on the contrast, lightness, sharpness and cropped by photoshop.In my camera bag
