Description
Nikon 7900 image.
This is a common Red Wasp. I am not sure why these are wingless but I saw several this summer that seemed like their wings just withered away. It didn't seem to affect them other than the obvious fact that they could no longer fly.

Wow, these are fantastic macro. Never heard of wingless ones before. Now you have my curiosity up. Have a great Thanksgiving. Aloha
very good images... ive never seen a wingless one before either... wonder y they dont have them...
I don't wonder why they don't have wings, I just rejoice in it! No wings, no stings...No need to do the Bee Dance here since I can outrun these guys. Very clear and detailed photos. Excellent work.
Great macro shots... Interesting they dont have wings... Maybe these are mutants :| Could it run faster than a horse, is it stronger than a man?... These are only few on the mysteries we are yet to solve about them mutant wasps ;P Great work buddy! Thanks for sharing! :)
Very interesting if they can not fly, I wonder how they feed? Excellent detail well presented.
Interesting fact, beautiful macros.
Oh yes, very beautiful pictures and excellent colour!!! I like this collage of this insect!!! Excellent!!! Good day ;)
Beautiful macro and photos. Super quality. Very clear and perfect colours.
What an oddity. I've never seen red wasps, the withered wings are a truely bizarre occurance. Were the young and still growing them do you think? Thanks BJ
you are an amazing macroist... hmmm.. if there is such a thing lol been browsing through your gallery and I'm totally in awe and so impressed with your work.
