Spent all day listening to lectures on wasps. It's been a good day. So glad there are people willing to organize online courses like this. An unimaginable amount of work, but it's a fantastic way to spread appreciation of wasps and insects.

#WaspIDCourse is a virtual/online wasp identification course. It runs for two weeks and today is the first day! It ran for the first time last year, so there was a #WaspIDCourse2022. Today begins #WaspIDCourse2023.

I see a lot of #Hashtags I don't recognize. Most times, I assume they're not meant for me! If I'm curious, I'll do a search on it to try to glean the larger context.

#WaspIDCourse2023, day 1.

As I attend this run of the WaspID Course, I'm tempted to share a different wasp every day. A 🧵
(Without specification, assume all are shot in the Netherlands)

So without further ado, here's no. 1: a cool pompilid, dragging along a paralyzed spider to a burrow somewhere.
