P1140795 - Vespinae - Wespe - Wasp
Wenn dich die Lästerzunge sticht,
so lass dir dies zum Troste sagen.
Die schlechtesten Früchte sind es nicht,
woran die Wespen nagen.
(Zitat von Gottfried August Bürger)

Free translation:
When you are stung by envious tongues,
let this be your consolation.
Wasps do not choose bad fruit
to enjoy themselves in celebration.

The poem does not scan in English, May, but the photo certainly makes up for that. The wasps are enjoying this as much as I am doing.
Greetings, Amelia

I understand the poem exactly, May even if, as Amelia says, the translation doesn't scan. I have been trying get it to work for 20 minutes but have failed. Nice shot, though!
