Drying up, Pt. 2 - _TNY_1381
This wasp had fallen into the water barrel in my mother-in-law's garden and couldn't get up so I held down a leaf and let it climb up in exchange for a couple of shots.
I can't really figure out which exact species this is, but it appears to be one of the long-cheeked species, ie the genus Dolichovespula. There are three species which I think it could be, but this ends at Dolichovespula sp.
