Maria Spindler, Blowing bubbles (SINGLE SHOT 2026)

Managed to capture this Australian paper wasp was blowing bubbles. It was a very hot day and do I believe that they may do this to keep the nest cool. Taken with a 100-500mm lens due to not wanting to get to close to the nest. This is four photos stacked.
