The Common Wasp can be found in many types of temperate habitats. Found usually in open habitats including urban areas, which in the Irish context means it is fairly ubiquitous and can be found almost everywhere.
Nests are mostly subterranean (8-15 cm in depth) (e.g. in rodent burrows or earth cracks). Aerial nests are always in enclosed spaces (e.g. tree hollows, attics, wall voids, dense vegetation). Aerial sites are more frequent in urban areas.
Adult wasps leaving and entering a colony often carry materials which have a nutritional or nest-building function, and sometimes a sanitation or nest-cooling function. The main materials brought into a colony are fluids, including water in the crop, and pulp and flesh carried in the mandibles.
The pulp is used as a building material for the envelopes and combs of the nest. V. vulgaris is known to use rotten wood.
The fluids, with their dissolved carbohydrates, and the flesh are used to maintain the metabolic activities of the larvae and adults, for the growth and development of the larvae, for egg maturation in the queen and to build up reserves in the newly reared sexuals. Water is used in the nest building process and as an aid to reducing colony temperature when it becomes too hot. In general, water is obtained from open sources such as ponds and streams, fluids from the nectaries of flowers, extra-floral nectaries (e.g. laurel), honeydew, ripe fruit, sap flows and mad-made sweet substances.
Prey and flesh food are usually derived from live insects and other arthropods, particularly spiders, but are also scavenged from dead arthropods and vertebrates including man-derived sources. For example prey items usually consist of flies, lepidopteran larvae, spiders etc.
Generally from early March to the end of October (essentially once the warmth of Spring arrives until the colony terminates due to the cold weather that winter brings at the end of the year). Some colonies may overwinter, dying out in early spring.
Found throughout mainland England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Also recorded from the Isle of Man, Isles of Scilly, the Channel Islands, Outer Hebrides, Orkneys and Shetland. Elsewhere, it occurs in Europe, North Africa, northern and central Asia from Turkey to Japan and introduced into Iceland, New Zealand and south-eastern Australia. (National Biodiversity Data Centre)
This wasp was feeding on an apple half that I put into my garden for the local Blackbirds. Fantastic looking insects.

Rollup doors on building 696, San Jose.
This photograph is a bit of a study in “accidental geometry” that I encountered while on a walk earlier this fall. The two roll-up doors are almost but not quite perfect mirror images, but the surrounding walls are almost opposites, light and dark, and the whole thing is set off by horizontal areas at the top and bottom. There is one little asymmetrical element in the numbers next to the right door — but even there you can find a certain interesting formal pattern if you look for it.
This probably doesn’t seem like my usual subject, but I can assure you it is the sort of thing I see quite often — more often, in fact, than autumn aspens, rugged seashores, deserts, and alpine mountains. It is the terrain of my regular pandemic walks in a circle that extends across a several mile radius from our home. In one direction I often end up passing through light industrial areas, including some that might seem just a bit sketchy. In fact, as I made this photograph I was standing within feet of the temporary pandemic homes of trailer-dwellers parked on the street.

Today is our annual Sushi Day Party, celebrating sushi, sashimi and Japanese culture in general. Sorry I forgot to invite you. :P
Gummy Nigiri. Quick and simple recipe.. make Rice Krispy Treats (recipe on the box or on the marshmallow package), place a gummy fish, swedish fish or whatever else sounds good (or gross) and wrap with a cut strip of fruit rollup. We made Gummy Temaki rolls too, but they didn't look as good.
TinySprite may be going through a growth spurt, or maybe just a big eating phase.... whereas before she would say and sign "more" nicely, now she screams "MORE PLEASE!" (at least she adds the please..!)
So, she gets two kinds of corn tortilla rollups: turkey, cream cheese and spinach..... and cheddar, roasted red peppers and spinach. Also the superripe kiwi, black grapes and carrot flowers for color.
Rollups made with nitrite-free ham, colby jack cheese and baby spinach. Broccoli, which she will eat as long as there's only one. Lychee with blueberry panda face, sliced mango and chopped yellow peach.
TinySprite watched me take the photo and she waved to it, saying "hi lunch!"
Ensaio para matéria publicada na última sexta-feira no Jornal do Comércio, sobre a arte feita em vidro por um casal de alemães. A técnica usada é a roll-up, que consiste em rolar o vidro quente na superfície fria. Primeira de muitas, pois o ensaio ficou muito bom! Thomas, o artista, fez um vaso especialmente para a reportagem. Aqui, o vidro é trabalhado em temperaturas que ultrapassam os 750 graus.

Smokers use tobacco regularly because they are addicted to nicotine. The public health toll of long term smoking is awful.
20 years ago Ireland was the first country to ban smoking in public bars and restaurants. It was seen at the time my many outside observers as impracticable, unenforceable and unfair on smokers and establishments that housed them! The smoking lobby and tobacco money cycled and amplified these arguments. But the ban was a massive success that improved these places for non-smokers and triggered smoking cessation in many smokers. Countries all over the world followed with similar legislation. Now it feels normal and good not to have indoor smoking. The idea of going back to how it was is unthinkable for most people.
Now in 2024, the UK has initiated legislation "Tobacco and Vapes Bill" for England that will *hopefully* progress irrespective of who wins the election to create the first smoke-free generation (and devolved nations have separate parallel legislative processes that are underway). Children age 14 and younger will never be allowed to smoke. Each year the minimum age of sale will be raised by one year each year to prevent future generations from ever taking up smoking. I think it is a great idea. We will see phrases like "draconian impingement on personal liberty" by tobacco funded voices and libertarian extremists but I am sure common sense will prevail.

A Shadow. Seattle, Washington. September 8, ,2017. © Copyright 2017 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A shadow falls across a Seattle sidewalk and roll-up door
In early September I had the opportunity to spend several days in the Seattle area. I was actually there on a sort of business — not photography related — but I did have enough spare time that I could do some photography, too. It turned out that I had two opportunities. On nearly the last time of the trip I managed the long drive to the North Cascades, where I photographed in the Mount Shuksan and Artist Point area for an afternoon. Before that I managed to head to downtown Seattle for a bout of street photography. This photograph comes from that visit.
When I do street photography I work in ways that are both related to my landscape photography and also different. In both cases I tend to only select general subjects ahead of time, preferring to head out and explore and see what I can find. In both cases I am looking not just for "depictions" of the subjects, but also for bits of visually interesting material that might stand on their own outside of the specific location context. Of course, I use different equipment — for street I leave the tripod behind and I work with a small camera, typically using one or two small prime lenses. As I walk, often slowly, I am attentive to what is around me. I am discrete with the camera, only lifting it in front of me when I make a photograph. I often spot something, make the photograph, and move on quickly. (Not always, though. Some subjects demand more patience or are worth a careful exploration.) I may photograph people, architecture, or fragments of the scene. This is one of those fragments, an odd shadow falling across the slightly warped geometry of the metal roll-up door, and offset by the tilting sidewalk below.
