Description
Look! It's a bug! Well, more specifically it's a yellowjacket. (I checked Chip's gallery to be sure.)
Okay, I know it's not the most perfect, clear, amazing shot, but I got it! You think that's not a big deal? Listen. I've been doing this photography thing for five years. I've taken enough flower pictures to float a battleship. Do you think I ever got a picture of a bug on a flower? No, I did not. They fly around. They move a lot. They see me coming and they start making reservations for a holiday in Spain.
I got this at full zoom from about three yards away. I'm sure if the creature had known I had a camera, it would have been off like a rocket!
Zoom is good. It's bigger in zoom.

A brilliant pic for your first 'bug' capture Tara and zoom is better.

Aw, I think you were just waiting for a bug that matched the petal color exactly, as this one does! Nice going!

Congratulations Tara it is a fabulous capture. The yellow flower co9mpliments the yellow jacket very well. May there be many more of these type of captures. God Bless.

It's got a Victoria Beckham waist..Lovely pic! It's most interesting howthese differ from our European wasps.

Oh yea! I do know how devious those bugs are. They take great delight in making us look silly . I think they know my eagles. This is a great shot! The wasp is great, and it is bigger in zoom! Keep up the good work!

Hey Tara! ....... Flower can be easy, I know BUT you try and get a good shot of an kind of insect! Be it this or a butterfly! Hard, very hard to get.. You got a good one here, well done.. Rob

Excellent macro on this Paper-wasp Tara! :)

This is a good shot.It is better that you got it rather then it getting you.They can really hurt for such a small creature.
MrsRatbag
Ooh, you did good! Wow, and brave too...I haven't gotten these, only some bees and hoverflies, tame stuff. I'm proud of you!

A nice, clear capture of this handsome fellow, Tara! Congrats on finally catching one! I've found that you have to psyche the little buggers out.... Pretend you're more interested in the flower than in them. They get jealous, and plop themselves right in front of your lens. You know, kinda like people who see that you're getting ready to take a photo of something, and walk right in front of you anyway.... Works for me, anyhow... LOL!
