p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Wasp portrait XV

These wasps were always drinking water, are not much attracted by sugar and look flash sensitive (most of the wasps weren't) there is even a line of dirt in the below part of the face due to the place were they are drinking the water.

Very hard to have one on finger for a litte heating

I love (always) the color variability of each species

Thanks folks, a Flickr contact suggested the species could be

Synoeca cyanea

I will try a full body shoot to confirm.
