Paper Wasp

Caught this early this morning, before she'd woken up! These wasps are a nuisance and it hurts like hell when they sting. I have already disposed of one of these nests from my lavender bush. I suspect it's the same one, as she's just moved upwards. I was stood on a chair to take this. Will be out to remove it tonight!
Oh she does look a nasty little critter, fabulous find even if it is unwelcome

I agree they are nasty and aggressive, but I do love their hexagonal nests, a brave shot :)

You are brave - there must be a way to remove them without getting stung! Squirt them with petrol and set them alight?

Ouch. Great shot, but get rid of it. David was stung twice with one of these damned paper wasps and as you mentioned it hurt like hell. My sister in law had a really bad reaction to a paper wasp sting when she lived in New Zealand and ended up in hospital.

That's why my similar photo the other day was called "shoot and run" because that's what I literally did after taking the shot...beautiful photo!
