Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Yellow Jacket

We saw a couple of these Yellow Jacket wasp nests when we were on a botanizing outing in Bragg Creek Natural Area two days ago. They were built at the base of two different trees. We all scattered when I announced that several wasps were flying away from the nest - thought immediately of friend Doug who received about 12 wasp stings recently! We were impressed with the scallop design that the wasps had created : ) Just managed to get a couple of quick shots before rapidly departing.

Needed a bright photo after all my recent dark, gloomy, winter ones, so thought this was about as bright as I could go! A Yellow Jacket on a Lily.

Another photo of aYellow Jacket on a bright orange Lily.

A few years ago, I would never have dreamt of having my face a few inches from a wasp. Now, with a digital camera, how things have changed!

Not everyone's favourite insect but they do add a splash of colour.
