Wildlife: Wasps on a pond
The problem with living things is they have this terribly inconvenient tendency to move about. I saw these wasps coming to drink at my pond, so I thought I would try and catch a shot while they were briefly still. A tricky proposition because the camera's macro mode is not kind to moving subjects, but there was plenty of light so I gave it a go.
These first few are just static poses as I was intending:

It's a shame they were all attracted to the rather grungy dead leaf.

Bonus two-shot:

But this one's my favourite, even though I thought at the time it was a writeoff:

Ain't serendipity grand?

On a not entirely unrelated note you might want to look here if you haven't done so already.
