November 11th

We are having some unseasonably warm days in Memphis
and I actually got a few shots of wasps that have also
enjoyed the 80 degree weather.

I had to use my Quantaray - 70-300mm with a 1.4x teleconverter to
get this shot. The guy was sitting at the top of a viburnum bush
and keeping a close eye on me. I was lucky to get a shot in
focus with my hands shaking!;-)


other sizes: small medium original auto

Great macro. He looks more than a little menacing.

LOL if he was as close to me as he looks in this shot, I'd have shaky hands too! ;-)

Great photo,plenty of detail, good exposure. Badminton racquets are very good for getting rid of wasps, they don't see them coming, then splat little pieces everywhere.
