Paper Wasp by grammyn

Paper Wasp

I found this wasp nest while working in the yard today and this parent was very busy doing something with the larvae inside. If you look closely you can see some of them in the nest!
Way COOL! Fav!

I love the shot but I have to ask you - ARE YOU CRAZY??
I wouldn't dream of getting close enough to get that kind of shot!

While it's a fantastic shot...i'm hoping you killed them all after! :-)

@myhrhelper ;~} thanks Kathy! and in answer to your question ........probably! However for this particular shot I was about 10 feet away. Zoom works for me! I did move the whole nest twice though to get better light so that is where the crazy comes in! ;~}

@annehans Thanks, Anne and no I did not. I am a bug freak of sorts and in the process of finding out for sure what kind of wasp it is I learned they kill harmful bugs so will continue sparing their lives

Ok, as long as those ones kill harmful bugs and dont bite humans, you can ! :-)

@ruthmouch I appreciate it so much, Ruth. I am glad you like it!

This insect looks huge! And too shiny and thick to be real! Yikes! I'm glad you stayed away (at least after you shifted the nest :-)

He /she was only about 2.5 centimeters long.

THIS IS GREAT! I missed this when you first posted! What a cool angle and you got the " babies" in there too! Super! If I ever don't comment on a shot like this again, and seem to be on your others ones, feel free to say "Hey....Doofus! Go see my insect shot!" haha

@grammyn 2.5 cm is still rather large (even though it looks more gargantuan than that in your photo:-)
