I’ve been doing a lot of gardening the last couple of years and it still surprises me how often when I’m cutting weeds a yellow jacket will show up to see if there’s anything to eat.

When they’re hunting they seem to ignore humans entirely. I still think hornets are generally assholes but I’ve come around a bit on some species of wasp.

The more I get into macro photography the more I realize everyone is just trying to do their thing and survive.

Metric and northern paper wasps in particular strike me as docile lil fellas.
