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 :-)

Waspy

 

Wasp in Scotland

Not posted a wasp in a wee while. Many people don't like wasps and see them as pests, but they are very important little things. Along with being natural pesticides they are also pollinators too. So the next time you see a wasp, thank it for all its hard work and admire its beauty!

  2. It’s always disappointing when people only remember the sting of a wasp, even those who have never been stung! Wasps play a vital role in the ecosystem. And unlike humans they don’t pollute or over-exploit their resources. We could stand to learn from wasps.

    1. I know David. People seem to hate wasps so much. They are so important, they really are. And you are right, we can learn so much from them :-D

  17. I am definitely a wasp lover. I spent hours on vacation in Jamaica scooping them out of the pool with a bougainvillea leaf. They really don't sting, at least not until Autumn here, when they are hungry and almost to the end of their days.
