Life On A Quarter Acre

On an old log. 12 mm\r\nThis male (?) was hanging around the hole in the log for a half an hour or so waiting for the other wasp to leave. When it finally left, the waiting wasp pounced on it. The other wasp flew away without an mating (maybe it was a male). After the interaction, I captured the waiting wasp, cooled it, took a few pictures, and released it to the same log to hang out again at the tunnel entrance.\r\n\r\nHere\'s an article about Pemphredon by Bug Eric.\r\n\r\n\r\n
