Visitor


Visitor

My lodger had a visitor last night. I was a bit worried but the fact that he looks so scary but when he looked at me that pleading look in so many of the facets of his eyes, I just had to let him in.

As it turned out, he was the perfect house guest and politely sat on a piece of white paper for me while I got a few snaps of him.

Some time after the photo session was over, our chum here got a bit restless and started buzzing in an angry kind of a way so I scarpered. When I came back a bit later, he'd made lots of little red dots on the bit of paper he was (still) sitting on. One of the dots was still wet and, when I plucked up the nerve to get close enough to examine the dot, it turned out to be a blob of some red liquid. Is this wasp/bee/hornet blood? Is it venom? Either way, it wasn't pretty and I ejected my guest forthwith.

The lodger didn't seem too concerned.

I threw him out too.

To be honest, I don't know how you got close enough to photograph either of them!

They are good photos though :o)

Whoever said I got close?
I use a long long lens.
