I can't see the wasp!

And although we don't have hummers in Britain I don't think they eat
insects. Their protein is from pollen, I've always thought. It will be
interesting to see what others say.


I apologize for the lousy picture. The light was very dim and I was
unable to get a quality shot but the wasp is the yellowish blob near the
spout of the feeder.

I thought it might be.


And yes - hummers DO supplement their intake with many insects. I've read
it and seen it with my own eyes.

Yes, I've done some reading since I posted. But it seems that they only take
small insects, wasps would be a bit big I'd have thought.

sigh I wish I knew from first hand experience ... :-(
