After getting jealous from seeing the results of skill, patience, and stacking macro photos in the news, I was pleased to find today’s crop of photos using a Canon R6 + RF 100mm macro lens can still do a satisfying photo.

I’m guessing it’s a Common Wasp, but don’t have the knowledge to be sure!

    I recommend the Infinite Monkey Cage episode on Bees v Wasps, gives you more appreciation for wasps. (BBC Sounds)

      Thanks. This might help as I have (probably) irrational fear of wasps.

        I do a bit too, after I was picking gooseberries and what I thought was some dead leaves turned to be a wasp nest the size and weight of a ping-pong ball. I thought it was empty but no! Out poured a couple of dozen furious (or terrified) wasps. Wasn’t stung, but aaaaiiiieeee!!!
