I was searching for birds at the back lane of Jalan Tan Tiong one Sunday evening.There used to be a busy road that leads to the Police Flat, but now that building is now abandoned and the road became narrow overgrown with lalang and tall grass.
Than I noticed a heat of insect activity on the second floor of that building. There you are, one big wasps nest and so many of that bugs flying around.
Lesser banded hornet (Vespa affinis)

Wow Tabib, That is a nest! What a big size! And they are really colorful this wasp!
Just last week my neighbors help me to get one down behind my house. They took the baby bees. Says it's good for food. It's my first time seeing it in close up.
Tabib, this is a great shot. The nest look like the masterpiece of a clay artist. I like the wavy pattern and the colour texture of the nest. You have managed to get a clear image of the wasps. I am very scared of wasps.
Wow !!look scary,thanks for the closeup image..really wonderful:)
Have a nice day.

As always such wonderful photography of the not so usual world around.
I can still remember the agony and pain of being bitten by 3 of these Italian scooters. Ouch.....
Those hive photos are amazing.
Amat bahaya tebuan ni...
Saya pernah disengat masa tu musim buah langsat.Tebuan suka mengurung
buah lansat yang gugur.Entah macam mana tiba KENA sengat.10 x lebih sakit dari sengat lebah.Itu baru sekor saja.Pergi kelinik Kesihatan Benta, Dr cucuk baru reda sikit sakitnya.
Fantastic captures Tabib. Wonderful nest building skills of that colourful mud structure.
Thank you for your bravery!
What a huge nest! Those are amazing close up shots. I would be worried about that nest if I lived in that building!
Incredible little engineers. Just beautiful!
