Getting closer to the wasps...

[Paul]

I took an environmental photo first of a couple of wasps on an a fallen apple, then once I was happy that they were happy, I went in closer.

Fantastic as ever, Paul! Wasps are great-looking, aren't they? It's a shame they're such bellends!

You never cease to amaze me Paul ... A really fantastic set of  wasp images ... they were probably legless by the time they had finished quaffing the scrumpy!

Still early in the boozing season Polly, once it starts proper it's like a insects' bender going down in the garden!

Nor me either...

On the otherhand I've got as close to wasps as Paul did and had them land on my hands so I could take them to the window and let them fly free. Never been stung by a wasp (I'm 61), when I worked at a school in Blackburn I was known as the wasp whisperer because I could get them to land on me and then take them to the window so they would be outside.
