Last year I discovered a wasp nest on the inside of my garage door. I identified the species as the Saxon Wasp Dolichovespula saxonica, a social wasp noted for being non-aggressive. So I left the tennis ball size nest there, and over the nest few weeks photographed the wasps building their nest to the size of a football. Although I was often taking pictures of these insects from only a few inches way, they remained non-aggressive.
