Shield

Description

I was on my lunch break and saw a very interesting insect on our lilac tree. I rushed inside and grabbed my camera with my macro lens and went to find this little creature. I took some photos of it, unsure of what it was, but it sure was a neat looking bug. I did some research and found it to be a Shield-handed Wasp. I love this macro lens and all the tiny creatures I find with it, it really makes me stop and look for them and then do research on them. There is so much that a person misses if you aren't paying attention or don't look for it.
