Apodynerus formosensis wasp
When the world was still wet with cool morning dew, I took a moment to go out into the wild to breathe fresh air. At that time, my eyes accidentally glanced at someone who was sitting sweetly on a young plant branch. She was very beautiful in black and yellow. When I saw her, my heart immediately beat fast, impatient to be near her.
She is the Apodynerus formosensis wasp from the Vespidae family. The wasp is very small in size, about the size of a toothpick. Small when viewed by the human eye but its role is extraordinary. I am sure that behind its tiny body there is a story that is bigger than its size.
The basic color of this wasp is shiny black decorated with lines and several characteristic spots in yellow. The bright yellow color is not only to beautify the color of its body, but the color is a form of warning to predators provided by nature that never fails.
Its pair of transparent wings are also no less interesting, the wings are very thin and decorated with characteristic black lines. When the sun shines on its body, the wings sparkle like gems. Although very thin, the wings are very strong to fly far. But this morning he did not fly, choosing to relax on the branch.

Be careful, they can sting a lot :-)
Nice photo 📸

Luckily he's nice. I've experienced his stings while taking pictures 😟
maybe when you took the picture, he happened to be learning to inject. you happened to come, a golden opportunity to practice it🤣
Hahah. That's possible 😏

Wow, you managed to take some great angles of this wasp species, which looks very beautiful even though they are stinging insects and like to attack humans.
but today he is very good, like a bestie🤣
Excellent photos @reachdreams. Wasps are beautiful, but their stings are very painful. Caution should always be taken. Greetings and nice day ☺️
