Muted sunlight

A bank of clouds in the East is filtering the light and it is pleasantly cool, though humid. The hummers are feeding with no sign of the wasp. Chickadees, titmice and finches are also visiting. An interesting cloud wisp suggested either Aphrodite or the Little Mermaid.

With the afternoon, both sun and wasp returned. How can I get rid of the wasp? I don't want to spray the feeder and risk poisoning the hummers. I doubt swatting at it on the swinging feeder will do more than make it mad. Butterfly net? And is there just one or will there be an endless succession of them. I wouldn't mind feeding wasps if they'd leave the birds alone. But I definitely saw them chase the hummers.
