Wasp (Vespula vulgaris)

Labels: , , ,
Not everyone's cup of tea, of course, but the markings are undeniably impressive and certainly work as a visual message that this is an insect not to be messed with. It should also be remembered when maligning the wasp that there is barely a single 'pest' insect species that isn't predated upon by this formidable hunter.

    I agree; the markings are impressive and the wasp is very underrated as a photographic subject.

      You're right, Christian, and the rewards repay the effort I think. Cheers, Tim
