This wasp had been sitting on the kitchen window for two or three days. It looked dead but would change locations between my visits to the sink.

This morning I decided to take a picture of wasp friend and, forgetting I had turned it on the night before, took a photo with the flash. If he had been having a 2-3 day nap I think I woke him up. He immediately started moving around the window. I took more pictures. Then it seemed like he was becoming perturbed. His abdomnen was moving up and down and I wondered if he was wanting to sting. Then he flew away.

I felt a little bad. Why was he there? Was he sick, resting, being lazy and hiding from other wasps? Later I was biking down Discovery St. and a large bug collided into my face. It reminded me of kitchen wasp friend and I wondered about his fate.
