Nearly Apple Picking Time

We have a good crop of Leitrim Red Cooking Apples nearly ready for picking. Unfortunately they also attract a lot of Yellow Wasps who are quite fond of them. On this particular apple there was a lot of wasp trafffic. I am unsure if they were passing information to each other or just swapping punches.

Regardless of the fracas, the fly was taking in some early morning sun. Possibly recovering from a late night.
