"That's all I have to say about that"

Here is another picture of the now deceased wasp which tried to set up home outside of my back door.
People at work asked me what kind of telephoto lens I had to get such a great shot of this pesky creature and they were aghast when I told them I used a point and shoot digital camera close up to the subject.
Yes, I told them, I climbed a 16 foot ladder and held my camera six inches from the business end of a wasp as it was making a nest and then pressed the shutter release.
I guess I'm just not phased by insects, not even stonking great big ones like this, and of course I know I have no problem with anaphylactic shock so up the ladder I went - fearless, or was it just sheer stupidity. You decide!
