Icarosity<p>Zoomed in on a wasp from a distance and didn't realize until I downloaded it that it was holding a water drop. Turns out when you see wasps at bird baths or anywhere appearing to drink, sometimes they are gathering drops of water contained in bags of surface tension to carry them like balls to the hive for the larvae to drink. </p><p>I believe this is a variety of paper wasp. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wasp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wasp</span></a></p>
