Queen Anne's Lace
~
I love the Queen Anne's Lace around here!! It looks like floating white clouds in a field. :) It's so enchanting. So many little insects also love this flower and I have seen many species of wasps, bee, beetles, gnats and unknown things with wings.
I like the pink tint of the outside flower clusters on this one.
Now here is where I must explain something. This picture(I do believe) is not Queen Anne's Lace but Hemlock. Hemlock looks extremely similar to QAL but it has a fatal poison. For that reason we never pick QAL just in case we are wrong and accidently get some Hemlock in there.
I had fun identifying this wasp. I've have seen before and I wondered what it was. I found out that it's a Spider Wasp. It eats...well... spiders! I also read that he can deliver a very painful sting.... I'm glad I didn't disturb him while I took this picture... :)
That's it for now. I shall probably end up having a ton of pictures of QAL before the summer is up just because they are so pretty. :)
