Royal Meal - _TNY_0952

Since adult wasps are vegetarians (the animals they catch are all fed to the grubs back home at the nest) and spring up here means not very many flowers, a good source of food is tree sap.

 

This queen of the common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) was enjoying just that when I spotted her low down on a tree and managed a shot before she flew off.
