The Beautiful Blue Mud Dauber Wasp: Back View

The Beautiful Blue Mud Dauber Wasp: Back View
I was amazed at the beauty of this wasp, and I was so happy to capture the iridescent colors in this image. I had no idea a wasp could be so pretty!

Thanks to Jerry Jones for October Square Set # 11 and Sunrise

Lovely wasp. I think it must have been even nicer when alive and moving about. I really enjoy a good macro photograph.
