Dielis pilipes, the hairy-footed scoliid wasp was in the Euonymus that is blooming today.

A closeup photo of a very large wasp on a clustery white-ish flower. It is upside down with it's left side towards the camera. It is yellow and black and hairy. The plant foliage is green and white and shiny.

A European paper wasp (Polistes dominula), spotted building its nest on the door of our house on Evia #Euboea island, #Greece, in late April.

Though these wasps look a lot like your average #yellowjackets, they're very peaceful even if you come close to their nest. They're also not interested in your strawberry cake or any other human food, but feed on insects and spiders.

Photo of a delicate paper structure attached to the surface of a door. A black-and-yellow wasp sits on the structure.

Lots of galls have appeared on the local oak trees looking like droplets of red juice. I’m not very knowledgeable on galls. I think it’s a type of spangle gall, iNat suggests pea gall wasp made them (Cynips divisa).

In de insectenwereld doen ook vrouwtjes van sluipwespen aan "ik wil de grootste hebben."
(Er zijn een heleboel soorten die er zo uitzien en met het blote oog nauwelijks of niet van elkaar te onderscheiden zijn.)
#Ichneumonidae #Dolichomitus #wasps #insectodon

Fairly large parasitic wasp with orange legs, an elongated black body, and an even longer ovipositor.

@MLE_online there really is a kind of wasp for everything. #Wasps! Not just for being terrifying any more!

Niet alleen lieveheersbeestjes, zweefvliegen en gaasvliegen eten bladluizen.
Ook de larven van piepkleine sluipwespen eten ze op. Het wespje legt een eitje in de bladluis, de larve eet de bladluis van binnenuit op terwijl de huid van de bladluis mummificeert en een cocon vormt. Je ziet op de foto ook de gaatjes waar de wespjes uitgeslopen zijn. Waarschijnlijk gaat het hier om een sluipwesp van het geslacht Aphidius. #wasps #insects #insectodon

Small brown balls on the underside of a green leaf. The balls appear to be mummified skins of aphids within which a very small parasitic wasp has developed. The small holes where the young wasps have left the 'cocoon' are barely visible.

Paper Wasp With A Meal
This little ball of food (caterpillar head?) is likely on its way to the nest to feed the larvae. It must have been heavy- he chose to hide from me rather than fly off instantly. #wasps #canon #canonphotography #biodiversity #bug #closeup #paperwasp #pollinator #arthropods #insect #insectsofthefediverse #macro #macrophotography #macrophotographie #insectphotography #pollinator #nature #naturephotography #outdoors

Fa dies que les vespes Ancistrocerus gazella han arribat als nius que els preparem cada any. Enguany n'hi ha més que mai, i les veiem passar amunt i avall, sovint amb un vol lent i pesat mentre transporten les erugues que capturen.
Aquesta estava tan cansada que ha hagut d'aturar-se al llençol estès.

Northern paper wasp on fading false blue indigo.

#PhotoHour #MacroHour #insects #wasps #pollinators #macro #wildlife #Photography #AltText

Extreme closeup photograph of a northern paper wasp grasping the side of a false blue indigo inflorescence. The flowers appear weathered and pale purple so they may be fading blue indigo but some varieties also have pale lavender petals. The wasp is facing right leaving one eye visible, is mostly in shadow, and it is using its mouth and proboscis to explore the base of one of the pale purple flowers. This species has a black abdomen with brown markings and yellow striping, a black thorax with brown and yellow markings, a black head with brown and yellow markings, two large, brown, compound eyes, two brown antennae, six brown legs, and two amber wings with dark veining.

New hive who dis?

No, seriously. Anybody know what kind of bees are building a home in my parents’ roof overhang?

THANKS: Ah! Paper wasps!

You have to take your partner's worries and concerns seriously!

Today, when she told me that wasps had infested her garden tool box, I initially thought it was unlikely.

A photo of a wasp on a small cluster of white flowers.

Aphid wasp (Pemphredon sp.) on a fava bean leaf. These are cavity nesters and will cram dozens of paralyzed aphids into a hollow stem for a single larva to consume. Apparently very fond of roses so save the bigger branches for your insect hotel when you prune them. #wasps #aphids #insects #hymenoptera #crabronidae #roses

Small, shiny black wasp with a squarish head and diffusely covered with very short white hairs. It's resting on a leaf.

I’m not exactly sure what type of wasp these are. I’m assuming yellow jackets.

In further Wasp Friend news, I just rescued *another* ichneumon wasp from the window. (This one obligingly hopped directly on to my hand before flying out the newly opened section...)

#wasps #insects #parasitoids #macrophotography

Slender, glossy black wasp with orange legs on a pane of glass in an old window, with an out-of-focus green background.

Another wasp friend!

Found inside a window - and, during a drawn-out rescue attempt with a bit of paper, it finally hopped on to my finger and let me take some more photos, before flying out the now-open window...

(Possibly the same ichneumon species as the last one, only female this time judging by the long ovipostor...)
