Wasp Mandibles on Wood in Benin in above a glacial stream in Benin

Wasp Mandibles on Wood in Benin

by Akira Hawkins

Golden hour light warms the rugged texture of wood fiber beneath a wasp's mandibles. Droplets from a light drizzle rest on the insect's chitinous exoskeleton, catching the fire-like glow of the setting sun. The view from behind reveals the sharp, interlocking jaws gripping the rough surface. Dry season dust mixes with the moisture on the wood, creating a contrast between the brittle fibers and the sleek, dark insect. one drop of water hangs from the tip of a mandible, refracting the warm ambient light against the cool grey of the glacial stream below.
