Colin PurringtonMorning light on the insect hotel and ADUs. No visitors yet, but I've seen male Osmia nearby so won't be long. New to the hotel this year are offerings of pithy stems (hydrangea, rose) to hopefully attract small carpenter bees (Ceratina) and digger wasps (Pemphredon). #InsectHotel #BeeHotel #bees #wasps #insects #hymenoptera #pollinators #biology

Alex WildAn incipient paper wasp nest built under the shelter of a large, partly curled leaf. Guanica dry forest reserve, Puerto Rico.
The different eye colors of the two insects are age-related; the individual with black eyes has only recently emerged.

This is (I believe) a Samurai Wasp. The barrels are stink bug eggs. The is technically a parasite because it lays its eggs inside the egg containers of the stink bugs and the larvae will consume the stink bug larvae. The samurai wasp will stay with her babies until they hatch to ensure that the job is done. What a good mother! 🥰
