The Duel #1804

A wasp rests on a rough, gray concrete surface, its body striped in bold yellow and black. The texture of the stone is coarse, with visible cracks and granular details that catch the light. Its wings are translucent, slightly folded, and its legs are splayed as if paused mid-movement. The sunlight casts a soft shadow beneath it, emphasizing the contrast between the insect’s vivid markings and the muted tones of the ground. The scene is quiet, unassuming, a moment frozen in stillness. The wasp’s antennae twitch slightly, suggesting awareness of its surroundings. The overall impression is one of natural simplicity, where the insect’s presence adds a small, sharp detail to the unremarkable setting.
