yellowjacket tips: for accurate landings aim for a sister
despite the lack of the classic stem-chomping pose associated with sleeping wasps, this Prionyx was clearly not fully awake or at least winding down, and only moved whenever i bothered it too much. my main intention was to show off its face and waist, but you can still see its oversized hind legs that almost resemble the grasshoppers its mom once fed it as a baby
i also got whatever this ridiculous shot is supposed to be so you can appreciate the aforementioned chompers

Today's wasp of the day is the panda ant (Euspinolia militaris)!

Not a panda or an ant but actually a female wingless wasp! As with fellow velvet ants/mutillids, this hairy girlboss is capable of making squeaky warning chirps by means of stridulation (the act of making sound by rubbing often specialized body parts together). What sets the panda ant's war call apart however is that it is significantly louder, longer, and lower with ultrasonic attributes.
Why did none of you tell me I wrote "wadp" on today's wasp post

What is the difference between a bee and a wasp? Well, to put it in the simplest way— bees are complete nectarivores and get protein by processing pollen and nectar in multiple ways while wasps are only nectarivores as adults and get all their protein needs out of the way as larvae by consuming bug meat. So here comes the exception; despite being more related to yellowjackets and paper wasps than they are to bees, members of the group referred to as "pollen wasps" feed their larvae a diet sourced entirely from plant pollen and nectar, just like bees. Though while bees are known for processing it and making it more of a "bread", these wasps do it more stew style.
They also sleep very similarly to scoliid wasp (which they are only distantly related to) by curling up tightly around sticks or grass

Important update: I have further learned that they collect pollen by rubbing their lightly fuzzed heads against flower stamens and then use their comb hands to brush it out

Did somebody order a lil skitter critter with cartoon eyes and a singular tuff of spine hair? No? Too bad, because she's here anyway and honestly she's causing a bit of an issue. That's because all species within the genus Cheiloneurus are believed to be hyperparasitoids, however C. Claviger is currently the only one with a known primary host who happens to be Microterys nietneri, a fellow encyrtid wasp who is on the front lines fighting back against soft scale insects that can do some serious damage to all sorts of plants. M. nietneri has been used in particular to save olives in the Mediterranean/Middle East from scale, but at some point C. claviger showed up uninvited.

It's often stated that you can tell if a wasp is in the ichneumonid family easily by if it has an exorbitant amount of antenna segments. T. Circumflexum here has up to 57 on each antenna. What are they doing with all that antenna? Well females use them to feel up potential caterpillar hosts to make sure they're nice and hairless. She can be quite picky too, refusing to plant her babies in any host that doesn't have the right texture.
My pen glooped on me so I had to patchwork it

My first sticker pack is live!

Anyone have any bee or wasp facts? I’m terrified of both to the point I’ve become paranoid due to many wasps in the house last summer
I think what they do is pretty neat and I completely understand their reason for stinging I know to move slowly and treat them with respect and they’ll usually just go about their day but like even knowing that fact I’m still extremely scared I can’t even go outside on a sunny day without constantly looking around making sure I don’t encounter any bees or wasps I don’t wanna be scared of them and I wanna imagine them as friends but this phobia is preventing me from doing so and I’m not so sure what to do which is why I’m posting this in hopes I can learn more about them and maybe it’ll be enough to make me even a little less anxious
Also I’ve never been stung before but I’ve heard it’s pretty painful and I already worry about something being injected into me that wasn’t there before like shots and even when my cats make biscuits on me when their nails get through like bruh I genuinely just don’t know what to do I used to be excited for summer time but now I don’t think it’ll be the same ever since last summer
Today's wasp of the day is Pseudogonalos hahnii!

This inconspicuous wasp is the only known trigonalid wasp found in Europe. What's so special about that? Well, trigonalid wasps are.... weird, even by wasp standards. They're hyperparasitoids, meaning they use other parasitoids that are already parasitoiding something else as their hosts. That part isn't odd for wasps though, and hyperparasitoidism can go several hosts of hosts deep. Trigonalids are weird for how they get to their target— which is by having their eggs purposefully eaten by a creature that either already is or will likely be infected by a parasitoid. The trigonalid eggs will wait to hatch until another parasitoid is detected and then they'll eat them up from within the creature that originally ate them.
It goes to show you that even the seemingly simplest looking creatures should not be passed by, who knows what secrets they may hold. How many other unique insects go unnoticed? Perhaps this isn't Europe's only trigonalid wasp after all and there very well could be more without us realizing.
I don't think you should wear that in public...

have you made a post about the rainbow cuckoo wasp yet? they're absolutely stunning, probably one of the prettiest species of wasp out there, which is saying something because there are so many haha
Today's wasp of the day is the rainbow cuckoo wasp (Chrysis mionii)!
Credits: photo 1, photo 2
Disclaimer: This species used to be called C. concinna, and while that name is no longer considered valid it does seem to still be in use with some people so you'll see posted observations of this wasp under both names.
For those willing to brave the hottest and driest days of the South African summer, you may be rewarded with a glimpse of this tiny jewel flitting between flowers. Cuckoo wasps are truly a paradox; their entire life plan revolves around sneaking into the nests of other bees or wasps unnoticed and yet they are basically living disco balls. In fact, researchers are still not sure why cuckoo wasps are so colorful— is it a classic wasp case of warning colors? A bluff? Or is it simply a funky side-effect of how their extra tough exoskeletons are formed?
Very discreet. Master of stealth
