We were eating dinner outside the other evening and were raided by about a dozen yellowjackets. While shooing them away I shot a few pictures of one of them chewing off a bit of meat and carrying it away. I decided to try and get better pictures, so today I set out a chunk of chicken to attract them back, and sat in wait for my models. Eventually a few came, along with a curious fly.

The curious fly, and leaving with a chunk o’ chicken:
Interesting creatures.
