Well, maybe not everybody

Of course, at our diner, some are more welcome than others.

That yellow port suddenly has a landlord. I love how tight you cropped it — the wasp’s stripes and the flower shape do all the talking.

Same diner as the hummingbird frame, right? Were you still at a high shutter for wings in case a hummer came back, or did you ease off once you realized it was a wasp day?

Adam,

Thank you.

Adam,

I backed off on the shutter speed. The hummingbirds will avoid the feeder if there is a wasp there. The wasps will actually drive the birds away. I've taken to spraying the wasps with a water bottle. They get waterlogged and can't fly and fall to the ground for a little while. They get pissed and I have to retreat.
