It’s 106 here today (Trinity Center, CA) but the butterflies and bees love it.
Lots of patience and perseverance to catch anything at a good perspective!

@Sandy_Richards-Brown - you caught the eye wonderfully, and the flower is well-lit without rivalling the wasp. My only small suggestion is to lighten the wings somehow as they are a bit obscured - maybe with the Adjustment Brush in Lightroom. Lovely composition!
All around great sot. I can see the hair on the back of his neck standing up, just like mine !!! LOL Nice color contrast , yellow and green with a hint of pink flower.
Really nice, Sandy. Wonderful details in the wasp. Hats off to you for getting out there in the heat and shooting! It’s not quite that hot here, and I am not ready to go out with my camera.
Really great DOF, detail and lighting on this bembix (sand) wasp Sandy (green eyes). These are the favorite food source for my son’s velvet ants (mutillids). 106 in Trinity Center is crazy hot. Seems like summer is here. We used to go backpacking in the Trinity Alps from that side up on Swift Creek and the Stuart’s Fork of the Trinity River.
