OK, this is not really my thing. I was photographing other subjects and noticed this wasp. It caught my eye because it clearly isn't a bog standard, land in your cola kind of wasp.
As it happened I had my 24-70mm on the camera which kind of does macro so I got a few shots before it flew off having grappled with a honey bee where it wasn't possible to poke my lens and get anything worth seeing.
Having looked it up when I got home, apparently these here wasps catch and immobilise honey bees before burying them and laying a egg on each one, charming.
Posting more out of the possibility that someone might me interested in this particular wasp and not as an example of my prowess with a camera.
