Toby, your the only person I know who keeps pet wasps. Very nice shots too. What is he eating?

pineapple chunk. He's still alive this morning but doubt he'll last the day. Could let him out but its pretty cold and i'm sure that would finish him off.

Yeah, mother nature wasn't kind to them. They work hard all their lives then die alone out in the woods. I see the same thing under the microscope. Everything, even the smallest one celled animals fight death to the last gasp.

I absolutely love these, Toby! Did you move the figurines to where the wasp was, or did he just happen to get tired while he was next to them? Either way, these are such original and unique shots! Thank you so much for sharing!

glad you enjoyed and I moved the figures to the wasp - something I would not attempt in June!

G'day Toby, These are great, it kind of puts things in perpective. All the wasp needs now is a Canon with Macro lens attached taking close ups of people.

Regards, Dutch
