A large wasp with a stout, dark body with a reddish abdomen tip. The wings are also dark. The head is bright orange.
A Scollid Wasp, Regiscolia azurea, spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve on 15 March 2025. A large wasp, and seldom seen. It hunts for the larvae of beetles to parasitize.

If you want to buy an insect hotel that allows nesting tubes to be cleaned, here's my listing of companies that sell them. I especially like the ones with observation windows. Thanks for any corrections. #InsectHotels #BeeHotels #pollinators #bees #wasps colinpurrington.com/2019/05/wher...

10 brown pupal cases that look that jimmies, resting on a piece of plastic next to an unwrapped paper straw that once held a partitioned nest.
Pile of cylindrical bee cocoons covered with bright orange frass pellets.
I finally cleaned out my insect hotels last week, a process that allows me to remove invasive parasites such as Houdini flies. On left are cocoons of Trypoxylon collinum, a small wasp that provisions nests with spiders. On right are cocoons of Osmia georgica (a mason bee). #insects #bees #wasps

Me holding a small power tool that has a 1 1/2" spinning abrasive disc attached to the tip, above a partially cut plant stem that is hollow.
For those of you setting up insect hotels right now, Dremel cut-off blades are perfect for slicing through brittle stems. #BeeHotels #InsectHotels #bees #wasps #insects

To celebrate #internationalwomensday Stirling Uni alumni hosted a panel discussion with some women academics and let me talk about some of my favourite research (and other) topics #wasps and #TaylorSwift. Watch online here www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBRv...

A yellowjacket (aka hornet), Vespula pennsylvanica, head downward, on old, cracked wood. The yellowjacket is black with broad, brilliant yellow stripes, crosswise on the abdomen (5 wavy bands, then a split band) and then in a varied pattern on the thorax and head. Narrow, brown wings, orange antennae, mostly yellow legs. Beside the insect, there's a small patch of lichen, as bright yellow as the hornet's stripes.
Western Yellowjacket, one of a swarm building this summer's nest in an ancient piling. New blog post: wanderinweeta.blogspot.com/2026/03/busy... #VancouverIsland #Invertebrates #Insects #Wasps #NaturePhotography

Going through old specimens has turned up this female and male Arescon iridescens wasp of the Mymaridae found in Brede High Woods in July 2023. A new species for me, and a very rarely found species. Good find!

Therion circumflexum (or similar ichneumon wasp)
Therion circumflexum here. Not to flex, but I look pretty bad ass. Wait, it gets better. I lay my eggs inside caterpillars, I'm not picky which ones, who then devour their living host alive as they grow. No need for mommy. Do you want some of this?

When temperatures rise, we'll see wasps & bees emerging. If you find one that seems slow or to be struggling, offer them a tiny amount of agave or some sugar water (2 parts sugar 1 part water) for an energy boost to continue their activities. 🐝

A large wasp with 3 bands of yellow markings on its body is crawling on some purple flowers. Its head and upper body is covered with pollen. Above a blurry pink flower can be seen in the background.
For #MacroMonday, here is a three-banded scoliid wasp enjoying some colorful flowers.
