Wasps nest

[bazza]

Hi all, just took a wasps nest out of our loft and was amazed at the detail inside.. Here's a couple of pics that I took..

Didn't see the little bug on the wasp untill I looked at the photo.. Anybody know what it is??

Yellow Jacket it seems. But I could be wrong.... nice photo though!

Nide detail in the second one. Nice capture of the little bug. Isn't it amazing sometimes when you take a macro and all sorts of little creatures show up.

Thanks guys, if you look closely at the second one, you can see a few more.. how many legs do they have???

to me, it looks like an egg. I might be wrong though.

Thanks guys for the comments,

I thought it was an egg but in other shots (not posted) it has moved.. very creepy..

Also, I don't think wasp eggs have legs.

Hi, I used a 50mm Sigma macro lens then cropped...

Very cool shots. I've heard of mights that infest nests and wipe out the entire nest. I wonder if this is one of them...

I agree, it looks like a mite

Nice shot...especially the second shot. Did you know the bee was still inside the nest once you removed it?

I also agree that it is a mite.

I love following wasps around in the garden for macro shots. Most species are quite docile except for the infamous yellowjacket.

I like that close up of the emerging adult.
