Description
Been at the local wetlands again the last 2 days. A lot of activity insect-wise. Thought the bright yellow on these guys was so cool and another wasp with alien eyes!
Small in size, about 7-10mm
I generally hesitate to make multiple posts of the same insects, so I included 2 of this guy in one post...
INFO:
Genus Philanthus - Beewolves-Wasp
Adults feed on nectar, but larvae feed on bees provided by mother at time of egg-laying. Many species prey especially on sweat bees (family Halictidae), but at least one European species favors honeybees. -BugGuide.net
Thanks for looking and all your kind comments of late.
