https://flic.kr/p/ARzsi8 | Wood wasp | ♀ Xiphydria camelus, Xiphydriidae Size: 21 mm This rather large wasp was attempting to lay eggs in an old alder. I'm not sure if she ever found a place that met her requirements as she was constantly on the move and only did very brief halts here and there where she appeared to be evaluating the spot with here ovipositor. This single exposure was shot during one of those short breaks. Being picky makes sense, since this species inoculates the wood…
The Paper Wasp, Polistes exclamans, so called because of the paper like material it produces from plant stems and dead wood which they chew up and mix with their saliva to make their nests ( a similar way to how we make paper – except for the chewing and saliva, of course, LOL). They will defend the nests if attacked and search for nectar for themselves and caterpillars for young. Wasp brood can be eliminated by birds or ants. They are also often called ‘Guinea Wasps’.
Megarhyssa wasp. These wasps use their super long ovipositors to lay eggs in beetle larvae living in dead wood.
