During my fieldtrips another organism that has gained my interest are wasps, in particular the intricate designs of their nests. These photos were taken from Trinidad and Tobago as well as other islands in the Eastern Caribbean. The location the specimen was collected from is given in brackets below the name and description.

Many thanks to my colleagues who allowed me to post some of their photos.
