Wilma Wasp

I'm just guessing this is a girl since she's preparing a nest. She would have to be the most docile wasp I've seen as I accidentally ran my finger under the nest thinking it was a fairy light?! She just sat there. She also went about her business while I took numerous photos with my macro lens.

@murnane Lol, I knew what you meant. Not sure that I have it down pat but it's lots of fun in the process. @9gpie You could be right! Thanks for the comments Nigel and Marg.

Nice shot of this pretty wasp. Lucky you didn't get stung.

[Sheralee S]

@girlie Thanks Robin, I would have run if she moved but she didn't care at all. My daughter @Chel posted a much scarier one than mine.

Oh yes, that one is scary. They seem to be looking straight at her in a very threatening way!

[Lux Vivens]

Very creepy! Great shot!

[Jenna Richards]

So cool that she just sat there and posed for you.
