Wonderfull...
But it's not a wasp...
It's a syrphidae (order of diptera).
Wasps are vespidae (order of hymenoptera)...

Oh thanks a lot ... Again just one of those garden shots- no effort it just all came together at the right time (other than fiddleing around with the super macro mode on the camera that is..)

Thanks, I see you also think its a hover fly, Wasp just sounds better, so I'll leave it at that for now..

wow, brilliant! You never let us down on the colour front! Excellent shot, it looks more like a hover fly to me, maybe it's the angle??? Brilliant!

Thanks, that one was really tricky- outcome is the sign of a really good lens on the camera.
