Life On A Quarter Acre

Genus: Thread-waisted Sand Wasps (Ammophila sp.)

This wasp spent ten minutes or so digging a burrow in the sand. Then she spent a minute or two covering the entrance with large boulders (some with diameters greater than t the length of her thorax). After she was finished there was no trace of her nest entrance.
