Another Wasp

Paper wasp maybe?

Looks like it to me.

That 2nd shot (with the shadow, wings in motion) is really nice!

Great shot the 2nd one for me

Thanks, Loupey, Martyn.

I missed the focus just so slightly towards the back, but I loved the shadow and the color combination. Wasps freak me out a bit (stingy things make me a bit nervous), but I must say the colors are striking on them.

Your skillful focus upon that wasp looks like a horror movie scene. Wasps are bad enough at their natural size, having tried to colonize my house several times. Half of your wasp is its stinger, frightening.

I prefer spiders, which appear less dangerous, and can also fill the frame of my video camera.
