This was a totally accidental wasp worker on hand. I was holding the leaf when the wasp disappeared under another leaf and then re-appeared walking down my hand.

Thanks for the comments :)

Kurt and Scott- yes it's cleaning it's antennae- that's what the spurs on the front legs are used for. Thought it looked a bit like one of those Sumo wrestling poses :)

beautiful shots. i love the way the antennae look like they're made out of foam or something.

[LordV]

Thanks for the comments :)

Yes the antennae do look interesting - I suspect they are covered in tiny sensory pits
