Wasp at the Waterhole

38°C outside. The air is heavy, the stones are hot, and even the wasps are searching for relief.

I put out just a little bit of water — and within minutes, they arrived. Not aggressive, not disturbing anyone. Just thirsty.

On days like this, every living thing is looking for a way to cool down. Even the tiny, striped visitors we usually try to avoid.
