European Paper Wasp - Polistes dominula

Saw one of these today at the pool......got to hold it more then once it was amazing. It was a male. I had to save the poor thing from drowning but it was always heading back for the water.

Apparently it liked the water. Also saw these:

Cabbage White
Dragonfly of some sort

Seeing all of them made my day. And I learned something too. No true yellow jacket has orange antennae. And this "yellow jacket" had orange antennae.

Never knew that! Thanks Bugguide!
