RIP

It's October already. Wasps won't wait for winter. Yesterday we noticed this little bugger trying to find a nice spot to spend the last night in peace. I suppose the bathtub met his expectations. He was buried this morning.

Good riddance! Why can't wasps disappear instead of bees?

...so delicate and peaceful like this.
Really good close up - cool shot.

Great macro! Love how you can see every last detail on its wing :)

That is sad. I don't like seeing everything out there dying right now. I'm not ready for the winter. Great macro, though...

Is this a phone shot? Pretty awesome detail if it is! Mind you, I suppose the wasp being dead makes it a little easier to focus, lol

Bless him on his journey to wasp heaven :(

@pwallis Yes Paula, it's an iPhone shot. Therefore not ultimate sharp :-) To get this close I use a magnetic macro.

Incredible detail!

To go out in the bathtub. I could think of a hundred other ways to go first!

@maribelrivera I think not Maribel. But most people don't get the change to look closely before they kill them. Or they just keep waving them away of course.
