Description
There are a lot of these little 5mm parasitic wasps on my shrub. Yet they are not so easy to get a good photo of, especially with a breeze. I plan to do another session out there soon and see what I can get.
They have an odd behavior that I noticed. It seems when one takes off in flight to buzz around, most all of them do. Then they all float around for a few seconds then land virtually in unison. Similar behavior of a flock of birds.
Anyway, thanks for taking a look and any comments. Enjoy the weekend all.

There flight in union may have something to do with vibations.Fantastic shot.
Excellent macro!
Perfect! I think the group flight may lessen the chance for each individual of being eaten by a predator.

Super macro sharp in all the right places and I agree with Andrea about the reason for the mass flight.
Agree, it makes sense
