Having been stung by wasps more than once, I'm impressed with how close you got here, Balan.  The details in the wasps and especially in their nest are great.  I'm thinking that the holes in most of the tubes show that the young have already hatched, is that right?

Makes me nervous.  Excellent capture.

Very interesting linear construction to these paper wasp nests. Most of the ones in our area make rounded nests. Nice shot of this species.
