Wasp on the Window (4 large imgs)

I noticed this little bugger on my kitchen's greenhouse window this afternoon and snapped a few shots (okay, 70's more than a few... and I only stopped because my boyfriend wanted the popcorn I had started to make and I didn't wanna fry myself next to the microwave). The glass is super dirty (two stories up, I don't think anyone's ever been able to clean it). The only post-processing I've done has been to auto-contrast in PS -- no sharpening, no changing colors, etc. Some are handheld, some on a mini tripod. I couldn't tell you which, at this point.


Perhaps hesheit only wants a little bit of the popcorn.



To give a rough estimate of size, although my thumb is an inch or two closer to the camera, so adjust for the perspective. I sure was glad the glass was between us, though -- these things terrify me when they buzz by too close.


It wasn't 'til I was chimping to my bf in my living room that I noticed hesheit had been blowing bubbles! So much for my power of observation.



You looking at me? You lookin' at me?

Poor Dan (my bf). He thinks I'm nuts -- to get these shots I had to crawl up onto the counter and manuever into a weird, awkward position over the sink. I think he understands though; he suggested I use my mini-tripod when he saw what difficulty I was having, and then he ran to go get it for me.

Hi there I like that first shot too, he looks like he is almost begging to be let inside, I tell you bugs have facial expressions well I like to think they do anyways hehehehe.

Looks like he was blowing bubbles, he was probably drooling at whatever it was you had in your kitchen ........ thanks for sharing...... Skippy (Australia)
