Description: "To use this video in a commercial player, advertising or in broadcasts, please email Brave Bison at licensing@bravebison.io ***Read The Description*** 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. The first clip was shot at early evening low light conditions. 6400 iso. I had a lume cube set and ready to go but I was afraid of trying to turn it on and spooking the gecko. Once it made its attack I could turn the lume cube light on. The second clip was shot the following morning in better light. Each attack I tried to follow it but the gecko quickly disappeared behind stuff. I didn't even have time to refocus at the end of the first clip before it vanished. You hear what I was hearing. It's an urban setting with construction noise nearby. You'd think I lived in NY City. The loud birds in the first clip are Mina birds settling in for the night in a nearby tree. I used the Panasonic GH5 and the Leica 100-400mm lens. 4k 60fps. The audio is directly from the camera's built-in mic. Oct 2021. Thanks for subscribing.
