A Sceliphron mud dauber wasp carries a glob of mud back to her mud nest, the weight of her load counterbalanced by her unusual petiolate abdomen. Texas. #sceliphron #sphecidae #wasp #insects #flight

VIDEO. Hi han dies que val més quedar-se al llit. Aquesta femella de Podalonia tydei va intentar repetidament trobar un punt adient per excavar un niu. Va treure rocs i munts de sorra. Malgrat tot, va seguir excavant en altres punts, però el que no esperava era trobar una formiga emprenyada que li mossegués una pota (25").

My #blogarticle about why the #woodlandsage #Salvia #nemorosa (#Lamiaceae), shares preferred ecological zones with the #threadwaisted #wasp #Podalonia #affinis (#Sphecidae) and how these species can even "interact" with each other (randomly).

Mexican grass-carrying wasp (Isodontia mexicana) dragging a paralyzed tree cricket into its nest. The species is now in Europe, too, showing up first in France in the early 1960s. #wasps #insects #entomology #nature #BeeHotel #InsectHotel #isodontia #sphecidae #orthoptera

Managed to get a photograph of the parent today. Given the all-black color and pale hair I think this is a Mexican grass-carrying wasp (Isodontia mexicana). #wasps #insects #entomology #nature #BeeHotel #InsectHotel #isodontia #sphecidae

UPDATE: Here's the wasp larva after just three (3!) days eating tree crickets. What a piglet. #wasps #insects #entomology #nature #BeeHotel #InsectHotel #isodontia #sphecidae
Exciting news: a grass-carrying wasp (Isodontia sp.) has moved into the observation panel at my insect hotel. The shiny yellow object on the right is the wasp egg. The tree crickets are all alive but paralyzed. #wasps #insects #entomology #TreeCricket #nature #BeeHotel #InsectHotel #isodontia #sphecidae
Una femella d'Ammophila heyden, de la família Sphecidae, davant del seu niu encara en construcció. Tot just després, entrarà diverses vegades per tal de fer la galeria més profunda.
