Wonderful macro, I have never seen one of those wasps we don't have them here.

Thank you Evy, Kristy, Kumiko, Linn, and Sheila. Thanks KK for choosing this today. Sheila, we have these very thick this year. They are very speedy and rarely land for more than a split second.

Oh man, I have been stung by these guys, they are "killer". I'm glad he's headed in the other direction. Congrats Kathy on your POTD today.

Thanks Kirsten and Diane. Diane, you must have been stung by a female, as I have read that the males have no sting. I visit a butterfly garden locally and they are just thick buzzing and dive-bombing while looking for cicadas. I've neer been stung but will be more cautious. I wondered why I am the only one visiting that garden.
