Comments: English: A photo of a wasp queen (Vespula germanica). German: Das Foto entstand in Eckernförde im Garten meiner Eltern. Das Tier sonnte sich auf einer Latte einer Terrassenüberdachung. Leider fühlte sich das Tier von mir gestört, als ich mich mit meiner Kamera bis auf wenige Zentimeter näherte. Daher konnte ich nur dieses eine Foto von dem Tier machen. Danach flog die Wespenkönigin fort.
