Last Days Of Summer.

Back into the garden to capture what remains of the last days summer has to offer.
Still plenty of insects around and as I've managed to photograph plenty of bees - I turned my attention to wasps.
I'm not a massive fan, but looking at it closer, they certainly are interesting.

Tiny macro perfection. Love the patterns on their abdomens and cute little faces. Could do without the stingers.. but other than that.,..FAV

[Hope D Jennings]

ohh.. so cool enlarged. You can even see the little scales that look like hair. Awesome focus too. Too bad I cant FAV it again. lol!

[Tremerryn]

Awesome shot - we are being plagued by these beasties :)

[Five Alive]

How to make a wasp look beautiful! Lovely.

[Nicola Thwaite]

Fantastic shot. Don't like them, but they are rather beautiful close up. Fav.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Great shot Darren

[Catherine Pace]

gorgeous glowing shot - wasps are handsome - fav

[Beryl Lloyd]

Super shot of Mr Jasper !! Not seen too many so far -but then I have less fruit in the garden to attract them this year

[Hazel]

Really good shot, Darren. Funny how bees have an almost mystical attraction for us but wasps are seen as something of a pest. Maybe memories of all those childhood picnics?!

[Toni]

Wonderful detail.

[ZambianLass]

The colours are so gorgeous

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Nice one. Our local wasps are getting to be like the local teenagers. Sullen and stroppy.

[Peter Bunker]

Very nice. We've still got lots of bees.

[Glenn Mostert]

Great shot Darren!

[Myrna O'Hara]

Do wasps collect pollen? Guess not. Nice take!

[Barbara Havrot]

[Ivan]

[Leslie]

wonderful POV and detail of this wasp. The sting is a killer...

[Tricia O'Donnell]

Awesome Wonderful detail.

[Carol W]

Not many wasps round here, fortunately! Like looking at photos of them but hate their attention when I'm spending time in the garden. This is a superb shot, Darren, and beautifully composed.

[JulieCo]

I like the focus, DOF and colours in this.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great capture!

Great capture of detail on this fellow.

[Debbie]

great close up of the very, very annoying wasp !!

[Marloes]

Wonderful CU!

[Molly]

Yes, it is interesting to see the close-up. They're being an absolute nuisance at the moment every time you try to eat outside.

[Christine]

Good capture. I really don't like wasps though.

[Gena Pegg]

This is an amazing capture Darren...I love it. The detail of it actually shows it as quite beautiful. Something we just don't see on an every day basis I have learned to appreciate insects so much more since 365....for that reason. FAV!!

[Lee Shirley]

Cracking detail, so sharp

[Michelle]

Wow! Great shot!

[Kev]

Fascinating creatures, but I still hate these yellowjacket variety - permanently annoying. Great capture, though, Darren - hope he didn't get you!

[eDorre]

Stunner! Grand composition!
