Today's wasp of the day is Embolemus nearcticus!

This is another very ant-like wasp. And that may very well be on purpose, as the (wingless) females are most often found within ant nests and the burrows of small mammals. This family in general is poorly understood and rarely encountered. What I personally find most interesting is their face shape— it reminds me more of a grasshopper than anything I've seen among wasps!
