The last two wasps were guarding the remains of their nest that they had built on the ladder that I needed to use to change the outdoor lights for the dog yard. When the battle for the ladder was over, the final score was "Sippy-2, Wasps-0".

Never letting an opportunity go to waste, I staged one of them using the 5X measuring microscope objective mounted on a bellows with extension tubes as the optic for the camera.

Nice shot Sippy, that is the ideal use for a wasp. I have been having a running battle with wasps for seventy years now and I think it's about a draw.

Thanks, Curmudgeon. It is quite common for me to be around wasps and the two of us get along well. However, for some strange reason, the ones that are around our house are aggressive and that's where we often do battle.

Thanks, SX2002. Our summer is fleeting and yours should be starting so I look forward to seeing the beauty of down under.

We've got the Bees back but no other insects yet, it's been our coldest Winter for over 10 years...
