Queen wasp

Queen wasp macro (3), originally uploaded by tmv_media.

I went down to Devon at the weekend, to East Prawle. It's a great location.

I stayed at Windfall Cottage, which is a brilliant house to rent. http://www.windfallcottage.co.uk/

Whilst in the garden there, I was out by the firepit. On one of the benches was a queen wasp. So a quick lens change later and I grabbed this shot, and a few others.

It's a bit early for her to be out, so she was rather slow, giving me the confidence to stick a 100mm macro lens up close.
