Spheksophobia

Spheksophobia, or fear of wasps has been topical in the press lately.

 Last week, I was surprised to see a pond skater seemingly attacking a stranded wasp in my pond.  Or at least it was showing more than a passing interest.

I'm not sure what pond skaters normally eat, but a wasp does seem ambitious.  It eventually gave up and skated off.
