The companion

Today, I had some company at the office - maybe someone to talk to would have been nice...
It's a German wasp, you can tell it by the characteristic three black dots on the head!

Gernot, killer picture, great! The expression alone, like "Hey, yo lookin' at me?".
The face has a bit of a 'Scream' look (like in that movie). I like it, man. The reflection is bizare and shows much more than the real thing on the glass shows us. Well composed. Posted 13 years ago, modified 13 years ago
