Description
In this head-on view, a European paper wasp (Polistes dominula) appears ready for a serious confrontation if her nest is threatened. She probably was, but I wasn't, so our photo shoot was uneventful. She had chosen the inside of our barbecue grill for her construction project; the naturally black background sets her off beautifully.

Yikes, indeed -- hello, monster!

She was really just protecting her nest, but to no avail. Pretty cool opportunity. Thanks for the visit and comment, Wendy.

Beautiful! Nature creates such wonderful abstract shapes and patterns.
Nikolyn McDonald replied:
You are right, Sarah. I should have taken photos of just the nest, too. Thanks for looking and for the comment.
