Do you ever get the feeling you are being watched? Even when there is nobody there? Anybody human, that is.
I glanced out the window next to my desk last week and noticed a wasp peeking into the room. Seemingly not moving. Odd.
What? I wanted to say. (full disclosure: I actually did say that out loud)
So, yes, I got totally distracted – needing to take a closer look…

Mmm…an unusually cooperative wasp for photography purposes. It made me think…what is wrong with it/him/her? Will it have an “Oh No Mr. Bill” moment?
But no…it persevered…
The next day – at around the same time – my observer was still there, but had made substantial progress up the glass.
We stared at each other…

…until I gave up the staring contest and went back to the computer. I did appreciate the opportunity for a macro shot though. It’s not often (actually never) that flying insects hold still for me.
It kept watch the rest of the day, but was gone by the next morning.
(One thing for sure: I’ve got to clean that window)
What a fun, safe photo story!

Looks like for whatever reason it needed a time out, (doctor’s orders?) and you were the restful scenery!

Haha! Time out – I like that one. Hopefully I was restful scenery with the camera lens in its face π

One of these guys came into my kitchen. I had to escort him out.

They are not welcome inside here either. Maybe this one was a protester.

Ha ha ha. “Me Too!” of wasps, seeking inclusion, somewhat different from the human “Me Too!” movement.

Exactly! Maybe it was attaching itself to the window as a hunger strike move. My imagination is going off the rails these days, however ya never know I could be right. π

It’s hard to know with wasps. They keep their cards close to the chest.
