Today was wasp day here. They were very active, easy to find and photograph. The weather was warm and sunny. The wasps did not seem interested in the other creatures I was able to see out and about, leaf footed bugs, box elder bugs, lady bugs, a big grasshopper, etc... They were quite actively looking for something in any crevice. I did not see them find what they were looking for. One wasp squished a large portion of its body into a crevice, but then came out. Maybe they were looking for somewhere to winter or something to eat that winters in crevices?

This particular wasp was interested in a shady area with nothing other than the screen to our deck. Maybe it was resting? A similar creature was on a window in the sunshine preening itself. Perhaps both humans and wasps enjoy rare sunny days in December?

I separately posted a different wasp photo with different coloration. Probably one is a male and one a female, but perhaps they are different species.
