Flying Paper Wasp and Black Carpenter Ant Holiday Postcard
Wasps and ants are distant relatives but don't get along too well! The ant has discovered sugar water in our hummingbird feeder and before long she invited all her friends to dine (they're on the way). Unfortunately, the feeder was already being used by paper wasps (this silhouette is a northern paper wasp, a species often found in Quebec Canada). The hummingbirds didn't care for the feeder and seem a little insulted by it. There are flowers for them anyway. We have wasps every year in our garden. This year, we have three types of paper wasp (European, Northern and Brown), the omnipresent yellowjackets, and big black parasitic wasps and a lot of little ones who look for insect prey by crawling into holes in wood. Wasps are amazing animals, and it's a shame so many people are afraid of them. In fact wasps never sting unless they feel threatened, for instance if you gesture frantically at them and yell, or try to eat them (ie check your food and drinks, especially sweet ones!). I was stung in the mouth a couple of times before I learned the basic rules of getting along with wasps. As well as uncanny geometic nest-building capacities, paper wasps especially have face recognition skills and these intelligent insects, like the ants, have a complex social network. They help control undesirable bugs such as aphids and other nasty garden pests. Original photo by M Sylvia Chaume, Quebec, Canada.

The material is thick card.
The clear images are amazing and the overwhelming options is super cool! I wish I would have played with more options because the printing is exactly how the preview looked! That's why I'm getting more... my To go spot!

I wanted to do some unique gift giving for the twelve days of Christmas and this was a perfect addition to my present for the second day. My sister and brother-in-law love turtles. Colors are bright and printing is crisp. The design is detailed and this print was perfect. My photos don't do it justice!

I love the vintage postcard and greeting cards that Zazzle offers that can be personalized with no additional charge. The quaiity and value is exceptional. I highly recommend! The quality of the paper and the print turned out beautiful. I bought several to send to my family and framed one for myself to display.
