Wasps at the Nest ~ I photographed these two wasps at the nest in my neighbor's patio. I liked this view that shows the back of the wasp with a big "W" on its back. It reminded me of the "S" on Superman's costume. Maybe this is "Waspman" in disguise.
Wasp at Nest ~ I found this wasp nest in my neighbor's patio, and asked if I could photograph it. I couldn't find a wasp with quite these markings in my insect field guide. In this view, I liked being able to see the detail in its eye, and the texture of the wings. View at larger sizes for the best detail.
Yuba Fritillary ~ This pretty butterfly seemed to be the most common one this August on the east side of the Sierras.
