Where to buy mason bee houses Β» Colin Purrington's blog A good bee hotel will have tunnels that are approximately 6β€³ (152 mm) long and have disposable or cleanable components. The latter can be achieved through the use of (1) disposable paper liners, (2) r...

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...

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

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

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.

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 (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?

Recently found in the car, a gall wasp perhaps, but beyond my ID skills.

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. 🐝
