Shot this wasp on saturday, there were dozens of these flying arround.

I know its not a great shot, but is it pollen or the time of year thats making them go white?

Thanks for any help.

It's either pollen, or the worst case of dandruff I've ever seen...

It's a pity you couldn't have got a little bit closer.
