Brian,
You want to be careful with those guys. What you have there is a Yellow
Jacket, and they usually live underground. If you disturb them, such as
pushing a lawn mower over the opening to the nest, you can be badly stung.
I have had two such nests in my yard in recent years. We have a fellow
in a nearby town who will vacuum them into a container, freeze them, and
ship them to a lab in Pennsylvania that extracts the venom to make an
anti-venum serum.
Just be watchful!

Hi
Thank you Jim.
You encourage me to try again when the opportunity arises. In fact
another wasp hit an adjacent web on the next morning but it only took
seconds to escape and did not pause to regain it's strength as this one
did, and give me a chance to fetch my camera and change lenses.

There is a lot of detail in your image that can be brought out in
post-processing with Lightroom and Topaz.? I took the liberty of giving
it my touch.? It is really a very nice image.
