He was watching me - and I was watching him
I was wandering around the garden the other day and as I came around the corner, I spotted this wasp on a bush. I tried to get in nearer for some closeups, but he was watching me intently and looked like he was about to attack, so I beat a hasty retreat. Bees don't bother me, but wasps sometimes sting without provocation - and a camera in it's face seems like provocation to me LOL. I have googled and have come up with Digger Wasp (Sphex cognatus), maybe someone can confirm this for me.
