Nice
Nice lines in this picture. What a striking wasp!

 
Thank you
He is an interesting little wasp. I'd like to take credit for carefully composing this shot -- especially arranging the golden glow of that Black-eyed Susan in the background -- but he was in constant motion and I was following him as best I could. If you click the shutter enough times, you're bound to get lucky occasionally.
