Sharing

During the year of 2022, there was a dry spell and very little rain fell. I was watering my plants every day, just to make sure they would not dry out as well. Seemingly the insects equally rely on water, like every species on earth of clean water to survive. This yellow Jacket Wasp came to the garden every morning when I watered my plants and shared the water with other insects as well, whom also were searching for water. It shows, in dire circumstances, species, regardless of what, all depend on water and are equally willing to share, if in need.
