(It might give you angry yellow jacket wasp vibes but these are harmless, tiny, and chill)

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! 🥰

Toxic #evolution: How #wasps and #frogs mimic #pain molecules to deter predators
Certain species of wasps and frogs share a pain and inflammation #peptide similar to one found in vertebrates to help defend against #predators – a discovery researchers say contributes to a shifting view of how evolution works.

"Lessons from #Malaise trapping in Aranda"
As with most of my talks, there are few notes, but the gallery of amazing #insects may mean something to some of you.
