Not long to oblivion.
This wasp was on the verge of expiring when I saw it on a dying Herb Robert leaf. Makes me realise how lucky most of us are to live a fair number of years.

A cracking sharp image David. The colours in the leaf really enhance the image for me. Sorry to hear these little blighters are dying off :biggrin:

Certainly puts some detail in it.Nice image . I'd be inclined to lose the OOF leaf bottom left .

Nice image David. Such reminders are well worth taking note of. Life is very frigile and you often do not realise what you have until it is just about to be taken away for good. Tristan
