#wildlifewednesday If ever an animal had a FAFO face this would be a contender. A mama Polistes guards her eggs in the nest. I was lucky to capture the actual eggs in this shot as well.

Inside a Wasp Nest

PeerTube

This morning I had to catch this summer's first #wasp that had somehow gotten indoors and throw it out of the door!

Luckily this year, I already had my CD-R spindle cover ready in the shelf near the windows. Very handy for catching bugs harmlessly, that! Kids these days would probably not be as prepared as I am!

"The real me" - W.A.S.P.

Their biggest chart hit, apparently a howl at the stigma attached to mental illness. Perhaps a bit too difficult to hear through the raging guitars and pisspoor diction. Honestly, Blackie, take some elocution lessons.

Wespe oder Hornisse mit Schnittlauch

This insect is resting on my chivers. At first, I thought it had lost its wings, but they are there, at th lower sides of the insect. The insect is rather large, a bit more than 2 cm, I'd say.
Google image search thinks it's a vespula germanica or vespula vulgaris, but AFAIK these waps are smaller than 2cm. Can it be a European hornet (Vespa crabro)?
