    thanks

    If I had to choose a favourite between Bees, Flies, and Wasps,
    I would choose Wasps :D

    Though Brian has posted some of the coolest looking Flies you ever did see :D .

    The Wasps are like lean mean fighting machines,
    they remind me of the Military, on the ready, and when fight they go in hard and fast.

    Nice series........ Skippy
