Fortunately for me this wasp was to busy gathering nectar to be considered about my presence. When it comes to wasps I'd rather stay a good distance away or be armed with bug spray. In this case the telephoto lens gave me enough space to feel comfortable hanging around and watching him work.
Happy Hump Day.
Nice picture, Cindy. I was just telling my son that one got in my office today and I sucked him up in the vacuum. I'm sure he didn't like that, but he was starting to bug me. 8-)
Brenda-one flower had both a wasp and a butterfly on it. Wondered if the wasp would sting the butterfly but it didn't happen.
Joni-the wasp was completely occupied by the flower so this time I wasn't worried about him coming for me.
Louise-I too have felt the wrath of a yellow wasp in the past. I've learned to avoid them in close encounters.
William-there were quite a few of them around these flowers but I felt safe enough at my distance to take photos.
Cindy, I think you're safe. This fellow looks awfully distrancted by the flower.
Thanks for sharing your photograph.
Have an outstanding week and enjoy the last days of summer.
