A Leg Up

I try to release any bugs that get caught in my house by catching them in a glass and covering it with a paper or card until I can get them outside! I usually catch them against the window but this one I caught in mid-air! Just call me MRS. Miyagi! ;~}

[Vee]

Oh wow! That's quite a bug! Nice close-up! It's definitely trying to "get a grip"!

[👑 AnaZad]

Great capture of this wasp. Love your description, Mrs. Miyagi. I thought it was playing the Hokie Pokie (sp ?)

[Leslie]

wax on wax off he's huge

[katy]

@vskolnik LOL! thanks, Vee! I like that as an alternate title!

[katy]

@anazad511 LOL! It might have been! He stayed around that glass for a long time after I took it outside! usually they fly off immediately! this one didn't so of course he became a subject for me!

[katy]

@lesip LOL! love it!

[Leonie Mogridge]

Oh you are good to the bugs Mrs M, any bugs found in my house are doomed!!

[Diane]

Nice closeup.

[Sheila]

Bet he was happy to climb his way back out into the big wide world!!

[Marilyn Wigen]

He looks like he is hanging on for dear life... nice close-up and details!

[Deb]

[Ellen Young]

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

If I could bear to look at this then maybe I could offer a comment.....:-)

[Rick Schies]

Yeah, I guess now is the time that they will start coming to life

[katy]

@onie It is probably a weird philosophy. At least my husband and children tell me so.

[katy]

@eudora Thanks , Diane! I took several but liked this the best.

[katy]

@swguevin He stood there and crawled around for a while and even went back inside! I think he might have been cold.

[katy]

@marilyn LOL! thanks. I am not sure why he was so hesitant to leave the glass!

[katy]

@deburahiru LOL! I think you are right! ;~}

[katy]

[Tara]

Eww - great catch and close-up, but I don't like wasps . . .

[katy]

Such an awesome close up of this bug. The detail is amazing.

[katy]

@darsphotos Thanks a bunch, Darlene. It was a little scary to see him so close in my viewfinder!

[Ness Santvoort]

Great shot, I too try to capture them and take them outside, after I've taken their photo of course :)
