thanks staccyh, I agree!
Lovely combination. Nice shot.
Thanks mcaul6515, it was a gorgeous leaf...
Vespidae, Polistinae, Polistes sp. and looks like being Polistes erythrocephalus, which is very similar to the common Polistes canadensis which is also found in Costa Rica. http://uwbrus.wordpress.com/2010/07/14/afternoon-excursion/dsc04185/ http://www.vespidae.be/Polistinae/Polistes_erythrocephalus.JPG http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6382392 http://www.flickr.com/photos/29697818@N03/3128277107/
