Paper...

…………….....……Wasp Nest



The delicate workmanship is amazing. It seemed a pity to remove this tiny piece of nature’s creation, but the wasps responsible for making nests like this are slowly spreading throughout the country and decimating my favourite butterflies - so they aren’t welcome in my garden.

For those wanting to see a paper wasp in action click on this link and this link.


See the extra photo which shows the stalk which attached the nest to the roof of the pergola.






Thank you for the comments, stars and hearts for yesterday’s promise of beauty.
