I’m glad you enjoyed your nature outing.
It’s amazing the clarity that comes to you in that instant just before an insect stings or bites you. You can even see the tiny veins in the wasp’s wings and the multi-facets of the eyes!
And not all wasps are the same in their markings, nor how painful their stings are. Which is why I now carry an Epi-pen (even before it had the fancy name, and consisted of a syringe with one dose of epinephrine) when I’m going to be outside, in the company of wasps. :o]
The wasp I saw landed on a pink peony, apparently to get the water droplets, since it didn’t try to get inside the petals. Then it flew up to a nest it was building just overhead, under the rain gutter! Then it did it again.
