Recently, a 1.5~2cm size flying insect has started to live in the hole in the window handrail. It looks like Paper wasp, but I'm not quite sure exactly what kind they are yet, as they either run away or fly into the hole as soon as I approach.

They're going into the hole.. 😂😂😂 (By the way, in Korea where I live, wasp and bee are not distinguished and both are called bee.)

Most people fear wasps and have a prejudice. Like sharks, the fear of wasps is pretty exaggerated. Because only very few wasps attack humans. (This also happens because most people threaten their nests first.) There are numerous wasp species, most of which are harmless.

Well, I, too, actually have a little bit of fear. I was stung once when I was young.  Another, there was a time when a giant hornet came into the house. -yep, it's Murder Hornet, which became a hot topic in the United States a few years ago.-  I still remember my mom screaming so loudly.

However, the more I learn about wasp, It turns out that they are very attractive insects. The ecological benefits they have seem to be underestimated. They are essential pest controllers. Also their diversity. There are so many types of wasps, and each one is unique, colorful, and mysterious.

(The sizes aren't completely accurate, but) I've placed the larger wasps first.

And fill the rest of the space with little wasps.

I changed it to a darker background at the last.

Giant scoliid wasp is the largest solitary wasp. They actually have darker wings and lighter yellow points on the body... :) - Because they had to show their faces better as characters, the color of their eyeballs had to be drawn brighter than the pattern on their heads.

It's amazing how they build houses.

It's the wasp that has become my favorite. I was mesmerized by their brilliant colors at frist. They curl up like pillbugs to play dead. How could I not like them?

I drew a red velvet ant almost 10years ago..  To be honest, I didn't know these were wasps at the time (I found out soon after anyway)

I just looked it up and it was drawn in 2014. Quite a different style.

Thank you!
