Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Wasp bubble blowing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just seen this for the first time in my 35 years of life... Was like "Want to see something strange?", to the ppl beside me... Thought only humans knew how to waste time, smh. Then again- how else can the creature warm up the fluid? *************Amazing God************* — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ejw9 (talkcontribs) 14:45, 28 September 2013 (UTC) u[reply]
