\u00a0<\/strong>Ian Cooper recounts a little adventure he had with a wasp:\u00a0 A wasp landed on my hand while I was in the kitchen a couple days ago. After my initial surprise, I managed to capture it in a jar with air holes in the lid and gave it a slice of apple to dine on. I then brought it along on yesterday’s pre-dawn photo shoot at Colquitz and View Royal and released it on to some flowers by the E&N Trail in Esquimalt\u00a0once the sun was up on my way back into Victoria.<\/p>\n
