For #waspWednesday - a Vespula sp. queen wasp sunning herself on a leaf ...

... and a little Nomada sp. nomad bee launches at her, reminding everyone that it's #worldBeeDay!

(To be fair, cleptoparasites like nomad bees probably aren't everyone's ideal of 'bees', but they're part of the vast interconnected web of life. And I suspect this is a male bee, thinking he's found a particularly lovely female bee. Oops.)
