I wasn't planning on Part 2 until I saw what the gecko was up to the next morning.

This is a short clip showing it grabbing one of the wasps embroils/larvae for those of you not interested in the full version. The full version can be viewed here.

I didn't have to go far for these clips but it took weeks to capture.
It's on my lanai right outside my desk window. I have a small mirror set up so I can see the gecko approach the nest while working at my desk.

The gecko made numerous attempts only to be driven away by the most aggressive wasp.
This small nest has been on my lanai for over a year now. We coexist quite well.
They never bother me.
The nest hasn't grown any larger than it was a year ago and now I know one of the reasons why.

I believe these are Paper Wasps.

You hear what I was hearing.
It's an urban setting with construction noise nearby. You'd think I lived in NY City.

I used the Panasonic GH5 and the Leica 100-400mm lens. 4k 60fps.
The audio is directly from the camera's built-in mic.
