Very nice story... happening here... thanks for sharing

Nice behavior captured. Seems the wasp was disturbing it. Due to the crop there is loss of details. You can try to slowly crawl closer to the subject so you don't have to crop. You can also try to make environmental compositions with more space around. Thanks for sharing.
