(^01) GERMAN WASP AND MITES (FINALIST:
ANIMALS) BY DARRON MATTHEWS
I placed little drops of honey around my
garden in the hope of attracting a wasp or
bee. A drop on a white clematis proved too
tempting for this German wasp, and I took
this shot while it drank, rocking back and
forth until it was perfectly sharp. It wasn’t
until I had a closer look at the images that I
realised the wasp had been joined by some
tiny mites too!
