I love wasp season...

There is something about wasps and apples that I find fascinating and when it's time for the wasps to come eat the windfalls, the photos usually lend themselves to give me a real buzz - as long as there is no sting in the tale... ;)

Also got an interloper photobombing the first!

Then it's time for a quick face wash of all that sticky apple juice before saying goodbye!

What is the interloper, (it has wasp like markings of yellow and black), and why isn’t it a prey of the wasp? Good protein I’d have thought!!

I think the interloper is a fruit fly - Drosophila (maybe D.melanogaster) but not 100% sure, though it does seem likely.
