Bald-faced hornet (Dolichovespula maculata)

This hornet is eating a very well-rotted grape that I put out for them and other wasps in my garden.

Must taste like a fine Merlot or even a great Cabernet. Mmmm any crackers and cheese with this?

You made this wasp very happy! Neat to see the mouth open.

Super shot Christine! I would have high-tailed it out of there though.... V

I'm happy that his attention is wrapped up in this grape.
That really is quite a face he has. Neve took the time to look at them while running away. lol
Excellent shot Christine.
