About Me

My photo
I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

A Hungry Wasp

 


Someone had spilled juice on a bench and this wasp appeared. It was hungy I think. I do like wasps a lot and love taking photos of them. They are interesting little things.

  2. Wasps are understudied and under-appreciated. Thanks for paying attention to them, Ananka.

  6. I like bees. Wasps, not so much. But this is a fine closeup of this striking beast.

  7. I'm not keen on wasps, I know bees sometimes need a sugary drink to carry on flying etc. You're brave getting so close!

    1. I have learned to like wasps and appreciate them over the years. Yes bees do need a sugar hit when they are flagging. Thanks :-D

  8. Yo suelo retirarme de ellas, por temor a sus picaduras.
    Un abrazo.

  9. There are a lot of wasps in my yard now. The big bumblebees are also buzzing about. The wasps usually don't bother with me even if I get close because I have a lot of flowers, and they are more interested in the nectar than in stinging me.

    1. Wasps are gonna sting people on purpose, I think people react and that annoys the wasp. That sounds like a lovely garden you have :-D
