This weekend I’m supposed to be painting the house but the sun came out in the garden… so off I went!

These are just some happy Lasius niger #ants tending their #aphid herds on a leaf on our pear tree.

The background is just out of focus fenced in situ

En ze parasiteren van binnenuit (endo). Er wordt een stof achtergelaten waardoor het slachtoffer, de rups, de eieren ook nog eens beschermd. Het is toch werkelijk fascinerend? 4/4 #hymenoptera meer zien: aramel.free.fr/INSECTES14te...

Als de eieren uitkomen dan wordt de rups van binnen opgegeten door de larven. Die maken een cocon. De volwassen wesp knipt de cocon open en vliegt uit. Dit is een gregaire endoparasiet. Gregaire wil zeggen dat de wesp meerdere eieren in 1 parasiet legt waar meerdere wespen uitkomen 3/4 #hymenoptera

En wat komt er nu uit? Hou je vast. De eieren zijn door een Schildwesp (Braconidae) Diolcogaster spec. Gelegd IN de rups van een Spanner. Die zal nooit meer een vlinder worden… in plaats daarvan is ze ongewild de woning én het voedsel van tientalle schildwespen. 2/4 #hymenoptera foto Arjen Faasse

Deze foto’s laten zien waarom Hymenoptera zo enorm fascinerend zijn. Wat is het? Het lijkt wel een honingraat, maar elk raatje is nog geen mm aan doorsnee en in een klein geheel van 14mm x 6mm zitten maar liefst 77 raatjes! 1/4 #Hymenoptera Foto Arjen Faasse

I had the joy of watching this little aphid wasp over the course of a couple weeks last June. So many trips gathering resin! I reared out the offspring of this tunnel over the past month: mostly Passaloecus cuspidatus with a few Omalus aeneus for good measure #hymenoptera #entomology #Alaska 🐝🧪

First round of malaise trap setups from this past weekend. The vastly under-collected Colorado Plateau (at least for ichneumonids) is one of my main focal areas this year. This first spot is near Kanab, Utah.

A small nomad bee with striking yellow stripes on a black abdomen. It has yellow spots at its wing bases and a pair of yellow spots at the bottom of its thorax. No black on the antennae so this one is a female.

Photo of two Mining Bees (probably of the genus Andrena), on bare soil with stones of various sizes. We are looking at them from above and, in the case of the Bee near the top left corner of the image, a little from the front. The aforementioned Bee is facing towards the rear of the second one, who is facing towards the bottom right corner of the image. Both have blackish heads with large compound eyes, brown, hairy thoraxes, and abdomens which are dark with pale bands around them (largely obscured by the wings folded back across the bodies).

On a small mound of bare, stony soil beside the path leading to the Jon Baldwin Hide were several insect burrows, plus several solitary Wasps and #Bees – including these two Mining Bees (genus Andrena, I think). Brandon Marsh #NaturePhotography thread, post #14. #Insects #Hymenoptera #UKWildlife 🌿

New at my insect hotel this spring are rose canes, offered vertically and protected from rain by the eave of the garage. Hoping to attract bees and wasps that excavate nesting tunnels in pithy stems. #bees #wasps #hymenoptera #roses #insects
