p.1 #1 · Chilly polistes

Found this slow moving wasp, Polistes carolinus, on a candlebush at Aggie Gardens early this morning. It was sharing a leaf with an assassin nymph.

#1 Wasp and friend http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3166/3061450616_745c163269_o.jpg

#2 Another closer in(almost too close in) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3040/3061450636_f604d3d320_o.jpg

#3 Caterpillar(no idea on an ID) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3278/3060613121_654f025ed6_o.jpg

They're getting harder to find here early in the morning. Sigh...

Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, will be off for a few days.
