there is a door in the kitchen. two doors, really. screen door and wood door. it's a back door(s), so we leave it closed, alone, etc. unless we want access to the porch (its primary function).
today, i noticed a gigantic wasp trapped between screen door and wood door. i observe wasp for a good half hour; name him steve. steve cleans himself most elegantly. lots of wings and legs, and maybe a thorax too. steve likes climbing back and forth on the chain. or maybe he is just looking for escape?
but despite his onstage gravitas, steve is pretty dumb. thonk thonk thonk. the concept of glass is beyond him, and he doesn't seem to have the marbles to alter his approach, even after four or five rounds of: ATTACK WINDOW! Climb on chain. clean legs. explore ATTACK WINDOW!
it's about time to put the laundry on anyways, so i go round back and very carefully open the screen door to let steve out. but steve does not immediately bolt! we contemplate each other for a good minute, before steve flies upward.
it was kind of him not to sting me. steve, what a wasp.

still irritated of his unexpected freedom steve glances back at his saviour, waves goodbye and imminently gets eaten by a unknown bird who patiently waited outside the wood door.

"still irritated of his unexpected freedom steve glances back
at his saviour, waves goodbye and imminently gets eaten by a
unknown bird who patiently waited outside the wood door."
this is completely inaccurate. the wood door is on the kitchen side, therefore your vulturous fowl would have been waiting inside my kitchen, perched on the frigidaire, as i granted steve full access to my fortified compound. this is not how i roll.

I enjoyed your story, thanks for sharing. You seem like a sensitive and observant person.
You might enjoy this: LAZY_TITLE
A relative in Palo Alto took this picture during the recent solar eclipse. Evidently leaves create small pinhole cameras and project crescents of light/shadows in the breeze. I might wake up early and try it myself during the transit of venus next week.

Gutted. I thought this was a special offer?
I've always wanted a wasp.
We would go for walks/ flys, in/around the park. I would buy him his own Mr Freeze ice pole he could chow and merrily frolic on, whilst I eat a choc ice and read a Jilly Cooper novel.
Never considered a name though. Perhaps, Keith.

now i'm embarrassed; i didn't mean it like that. mom 'n' dad got me a canon powershot G3 as a high school graduation present many years ago, and i've used that camera hard for years. 320x240 for 3min max video recording; that's all i've had for seven years or so. gone from 4mp to 10 and 320x240 to 720p. it's a bit overwhelming. canon powershot G12. i bought it because the G3 has been a trooper for years. it still works! just starting to develop bad pixels and i finally had the cash for a new one
