This wasp was quiet happy for me to take it's photo - time was around 7pm, and the day was wet and windy, and cool at around 16°C.

As well as being voracious and important predators, wasps are increasingly recognised (according to BBC Science) as being valuable pollinators, transferring pollen as they visit flowers to drink nectar. It is actually their thirst for sweet liquids that helps to explain why they become so bothersome at this time of year.

This maybe the Vespula germanica (looking at the 2 spots on the face).

They also strip the berries from my Virginia creeper before they are fully ripe ( black) once they start to swell, and are still green,
all I see is little tiny tufts on stalks :D
