Description
Look! It's a bug! Well, more specifically it's a yellowjacket. (I checked Chip's gallery to be sure.)
Okay, I know it's not the most perfect, clear, amazing shot, but I got it! You think that's not a big deal? Listen. I've been doing this photography thing for five years. I've taken enough flower pictures to float a battleship. Do you think I ever got a picture of a bug on a flower? No, I did not. They fly around. They move a lot. They see me coming and they start making reservations for a holiday in Spain.
I got this at full zoom from about three yards away. I'm sure if the creature had known I had a camera, it would have been off like a rocket!
Zoom is good. It's bigger in zoom.

A brilliant pic for your first 'bug' capture Tara and zoom is better.
Aw, I think you were just waiting for a bug that matched the petal color exactly, as this one does! Nice going!
Congratulations Tara it is a fabulous capture. The yellow flower co9mpliments the yellow jacket very well. May there be many more of these type of captures. God Bless.
beware of bugs in yellow and black team strip
It's got a Victoria Beckham waist..Lovely pic! It's most interesting howthese differ from our European wasps.
superb !!
Oh yea! I do know how devious those bugs are. They take great delight in making us look silly . I think they know my eagles. This is a great shot! The wasp is great, and it is bigger in zoom! Keep up the good work!
And best of all it didn't sting you!
Perfect details in your picture.
this is a awesome macro shot. the overall subject is pretty sharp and that is all you can get with bugs sometime.The good news is you had a camera and that's what counts. steve
excellent details of this bee !!like the yellow bg for this too !!
Really wonderful closeup!! :)
What a cool pic the yellow really makes this bug stand out.
LOL! Congratulations on your first bug pin-up! Great capture
Xcellent photo closeup!
AhA! Auntie trying her hand at a bit of whispering those buzzers eh?...Actually this is great shot, let's hope it isn't the last you do, get amongst those bugs and bring us some more :}
Hey Tara! ....... Flower can be easy, I know BUT you try and get a good shot of an kind of insect! Be it this or a butterfly! Hard, very hard to get.. You got a good one here, well done.. Rob
Looks like this one was late for his date and you got him instead!! And got him well too---sweet shot!! Cool that it's a yellow jacket on a yellow flower too---did you plan that as well??? lol
FANTASTIC this color yellow. A superb pic, Tara.
Nice sharpness and details
A great shot of this fellow and I love your excitement in getting his picture.
YAY! Bravo, Tara ;-) You got a beautiful yellow Jacket. Even in slim line :) Excellent shot.
Outstanding capture!
Yep. that's how I feel about my Dragonfly attempts! Congratulations, you got him!
Excellent macro on this Paper-wasp Tara! :)
This is a good shot.It is better that you got it rather then it getting you.They can really hurt for such a small creature.
Ooh, you did good! Wow, and brave too...I haven't gotten these, only some bees and hoverflies, tame stuff. I'm proud of you!
cool smiles with you the joy that shares in the eyes that feel warm hugs, Linda Kaye
LOL!!! we get what we deserve? ;-D awesome capture!!! & an amazing match!!!
A nice, clear capture of this handsome fellow, Tara! Congrats on finally catching one! I've found that you have to psyche the little buggers out.... Pretend you're more interested in the flower than in them. They get jealous, and plop themselves right in front of your lens. You know, kinda like people who see that you're getting ready to take a photo of something, and walk right in front of you anyway.... Works for me, anyhow... LOL!
