Paper wasp by yorkshirekiwi

Paper wasp

A lot of these buzzing around yesterday. Found the nest on the seating around our deck. Not sure whether they're wasps or hornets. Whatever they are, they hurt when they sting!
What a great shot of the German Wasp.. don't think they are as aggressive as the Asian Paper Wasp .. but still a nasty sting.. seek and destroy the nest..

Ouch! They are nasty. You are brave getting that close for a great macro shot.

Love the detail! Not so much, the sting.

We had loads in the garden today but I couldn't find any nests. You're getting some great shots with the camera - I still wobble too much.

@nickspicsnz deep breath, suck in your core muscles, and press the shutter........about 10 times!

this is a great image, just realised you have a p900 as I have. I,m still getting used to it. Getting in more A mode lately. I still wobble a bit as well. fav for this though, its nice and sharp

@joannakate not had mine long either, but it's a giant version of my 9700, which took me about a year to get used to. Still use it when I'm on my bike or don't want to be as noticeable!

We've had heaps of these little blighters hanging around too - hard to find the nests though! Great shot - now squash it and run fast before his mates find out!
