Very good close up detail and colour. My guess would be it is regurgitating water, some species are known to drain water seeping onto their nests that way - just a guess.

Very good macro with lovely facial details. I also would think it was water. I know in many cases they use a saliva mixture to make their mud or paper nests. You could check with Flannelman on this since he seems to know wasps fairly well. Anyway, great job!

Excellent macro shot here buddy! Impressive clarity and all! The only think I think you might want to change with this shot is add some more contrast and reduce the brightness a small amount ;) but other than that it's some fantastic work! Thanks for sharing.

This is certainly an image that deserves praise..... your photograph is heavily laden with detail. Very sharp, and very vivid and bright colours, to say the least. The more I look at our little nectar ball friend, the more I can make out a face, I see the eyes, and oddly enough the nose and a little mouth....(??!?!?) perhaps I'm just imagining....... but this is the value of your photograph.... excellent work, if you are able to make such an impact on the viewer, as you have extraordinarily done so!
