Came across this nest of wasps under a leaf on one of my jaunts in the wilderness yesterday, its been pouring heavily here, in the chorla ghats, and having taken the risk of puuling out my camera for this image was worth the efffort.

being territorial in nature, these wasps were alert after i froze a few frames and i hope to get some time to identify the species properly, soon!

It is these smaller wonders in nature that keep me in awe of the forests of the Western Ghats, no wonder the region has been identifed as a Mega Bio diversity Hotspot of the world!
