Whatever that line in the foreground is is interesting because it has a dark core below the leaf but is pure light above.

I like the angle you took this from, it's just right to get this dynamic view of the bug. Lower angle would have obscured the subject and higher diminished the impact of being able to see all the legs and wings etc. separately.

Yes it was a small thin twig that was in front of the Paper Wasp but was out of focus.

Nice capture EM. It kind of looks like a stare down to me.

That was what I thought when I took the shot

Staring you down is one thing.
Using the other end of that wasp is quite another!
A bit of an unusual capture.
Angky.

Its next message may be to back off. Interesting macro. It doesn't look too friendly in this shot. Good colors.

I count that as a good outcome. Better to be ignored than attacked.😊
