Yellowjacket

June 24, 2011 by Barb 19 Comments

I’m guessing this is a yellowjacket. A ‘Common Aerial Yellowjacket’. It’s truly amazing what is going on in the shrubs and trees around us. I was chasing a butterfly but spied this fella and he captured my imagination. Just look at his beautiful colouring and delicate wings. I knew not to get too close so I used my telephoto lens – I’m quite sure he didn’t want to be interrupted!

    I am laughing as I do the exact same thing – I’ve noticed when I stop and just take a long hard look around, like when I am photographing flowers, every blade of grass, petal and leaf is alive with insects and more. Great shots.

    Awesome captures – I think bees are hard to photograph and you did a great job!

    Great captures. I really need to invest in a telephoto lens so I can get better up-close shots. I think the first is my fav. Thanks so much for linking up to our Crazy Days of Summer!
