    Fighting for the flowers

    This wasp was following this butterfly around (butterfly habitat in DC), chasing it off the flowers...I was pretty happy to get a decent shot of the two.

    I love the way you captured this Emily.
    What did you use to get this done?
    (Can you send these cooperative insects up here to NY for another shoot? :-) )

    Re: Fighting for the flowers

    Thanks Loupey & Coachgns!

    I used my Quantaray 70-300...we were at the Museum of Natural History, and there's a butterfly habitat right outside. My daughter was exclaiming over the butterflies, and she spotted this wasp flitting around as well.
    I just snapped a couple shots, and hoped for the best, honestly.

    I see exactly it how you described "This wasp was following this butterfly around , chasing it off the flowers...
    Colors are fantastic as is the detail.

    I don't really have anything profound or otherwise to add, but it is a very good photo!

    Great and unusual color with fine composition.

    Congrats on the sticky.

    Way to go Emily. Very nice capture and well deserved honor.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
