Welcome Viper
I have a liking for the bikes myself, but the dirt variety

Quite harmless i assure you

No2 for me.
I love jumping spiders, they have the mannerisms of a cat.
Good shots and keep em coming.

Its not bothersome neighbours we are talking about here, Its a wasps nest.

Pretty sharp shot with that lens

Just knock it off with a broom handle or something. Trust me they won't come swarming at you looking for blood

Wait until they are away from the nest feeding. Then just knock the nest off and give the area a squirt of surface surface spray they won't come back.
I have done it dozens of times and never been stung.
I also have 2 active wasp nests in my yard and never had a problem with them. They won't hurt you unless your bothering them.

But if you are allergic to them get someone else to do it. But in saying that your allergy didn't stop you getting up close to photograph them :

Nooooooooooooooooooo Dont kill them, just remove the nest if its in the way. They will re-build it elsewhere.

You can't take advantage of their beauty by photographing them and then turn around and kill them when you have finished Its just not right.

great shot, good sharpness, i love the colours, Are these Hornets or Wasps :

I have only fired off about 20 shots with the new DA 300 but i like what i'm seeing so far.

Its close up capabilities are very good.
Just need to get out and get some bird shots.
All shots are cropped and resized but no other PP

I just hold it to my face and keep repeating " Take me to your leader" and they all back off
