Fascinating Insects #094 - Black Wasp

Black wasp is a species of wasp that has a very painful sting and even gets infected if not treated immediately. This wasp type has a poison that can make the skin from the sting take swelling and even infection.

So I was very careful when shooting the black wasp so that it didn't get stung. Photographing this Black wasp is one of the challenges for a photographer like me, because if we are just a little careless it is possible that we will be stung.

I took this black wasp on one of the branches of a long dead tree, where there are usually lots of small animals such as flies, insects, black wasps and several other small animals.

Here are some of my shots from one of the macro animal species, the Black Wasp :
