Blowing in the wind, this tiny insect, on a tiny flower is not very obvious for an ID! It's a wasp of some sort I'm sure, possible Ichneumon, anyone get any closer to some sort of species? #DiggerAlley @rspbminsmere.bsky.social

One of the various flies we collectively call Burrow Watchers - here camped outside a Pantaloon burrow along #DiggerAlley @rspbminsmere.bsky.social Not our regular Miltogramma, but definitely a bit of a spiky lady!

Ammophila Sandwasps can march a long way to find their burrows. When you get down to their level you realise theirs is a world of awkward obstacles to be overcome

Before messing around with big logs, the Sandwasp brought back a caterpillar to bury

Maybe she's tossing the caber, maybe jousting with the lens. Maybe a new Jedi Warrior she is! All I know is that she's an amazingly strong Ammophila Sandwasp along #DiggerAlley @rspbminsmere.bsky.social 😀

Anyone any idea whose burrow this might be? It's in the sand of #DiggerAlley @rspbminsmere.bsky.social but surrounded by bits of what look like dead vegetation - I certainly have no idea!

Wesmael's Digger Wasp (Crossocerus wesmaeli) along RSPB Minsmere's Digger Alley. Often one of the early species we see, but easily overlooked as she's so tiny!
