Yellow-jacket enjoying a snack

Now that the blackberries are getting ripe, the yellow-jackets are enjoying themselves. I like how he gets his whole head into the berry.

Cool shots. I like the second one too.
While his head is inside the berry, you can snap pics of him all you want, at least he won't see you.

Good series- particularly like #3 with the juice over it's face

Excellent shots. Very good dof. I always have trouble with that.
I like #3 best.

He would so own me at a pie eating contest! Good shots indeed.

Good shots, I like #3 the best also. I have hardly seen any wasps this year at all arround here..

Thank you all for the kind words.
Those yellow-jackets (wasps) really love blackberries. As I was getting the camera ready two of them got into a fight over one berry. They went at each other with such vigor that they fell off the berry and landed on the ground below. I am not sure which one came flying back a few moments later.

Very cool shots kinda messy fellow

Superb, especially like the last one with juice all over its face hahahaha
