The season of the invertebrates has returned with creatures like these wasps (Vespula). I am not sure of the exact species on these wasps as they seem a bit atypical from the germanica or the vulgaris varieties. Regardless, they got their pictures made after I brought them up to the lab. If anyone has a better idea of what they are, do let me know.
All images were made with a Canon 1D Mk III connected to an Olympus SZX16 Stereomicroscope.
