Louisiana Red Wasp

     This is a red wasp. I found this playing on top of my outdoor grill. I actually ignored it at first, or let me say I was a little lazy to take pictures of this wasp at first. But after thirty minutes I stepped outside the house and this wasp was still on top of the grill. I said, "okay, you want me to take pictures of you, huh". Well, these are my favorites shots out of  thirty. I"m glad to share this to you.

     Wasps are commonly regarded as pests, but are rarely dangerous. All species can sting painfully.

           This might be stinky as it looks but when I took these shots I really didn't smell anything. I used  macro both of these shots.

           Other name of stink bug is brown marmorated stink bug. This insect belong to the family of Pentatomidae. This bug is native to China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan. This brown marmorated stink bug is considered  to be an agricultural pest because they can create large populations, which feed on crops (damaging production) and they are resistant to many pesticides. 

            They are a threat to soybeans, native and ornamental trees, cotton, corn,  vines, shrubs, weeds, and many cultivated crops.

WASP IMAGES

             Was outside watering my garden when me and my husband found this wasp on my eggplant garden.    This is really scary! My husband can't stand looking at these images. When I took these shots it didn't bother me at all, but after being uploaded to the computer I'm kinda scared looking at these images too what if I got stung, ouch!!
