Cracking detail and a nice composition, well shot! Is there something up with its wing, looks a bit odd? Newly hatched perhaps and waiting for the wings to harden up or maybe just damaged?

Now you mention it, I hadn't seen that, till now, but newly hatched and drying off seems likely a the tips of the wings seem to be the last to harden.

I never noticed that

It was sat 4ft up a Sunflower, I think you guys are right about it waiting for the wings to harden.

Could explain why it 'allowed' me to stick a lens in its face!

It did fly off after a while, I was sat next to the plant for while watching the wasps drinking and bathing in the ponds waterfall.
