Wasp
Columbia, Boone County, Missouri, USA

Size: 3/4 inch
Funny story here... So... I'm sitting, reading in my AP English class and one of my friends sees a wasp on his paper and jumps for a sec... I obviously grab his folder, and proceed to dive into my lunch box, empty my grapes and stick the wasp into my plastic baggy... my teacher wasn't too happy... and everyone looked at me kinda funny... oh well... any ideas on what this is? I'll try and get some better pics soon.
