PHOTO OF THE WEEK, Pelecynid Wasp
 

This interesting wasp ranges throughout North America feeding on flower
nectar. The male is hardly ever seen and quite inconspicuous by
comparison. It's abdomen is short and blunt.

Too darned cool! We had a live specimen brought into the office @ a month
ago. When the person initially called on the phone and talked about the
long "stinger" on the back end of the critter, I had no idea what it could
be. Then when he brought it in -- ta da -- it was easy to see what he was
talking about. I'd never seen one in person before, so it was a real treat!
Thanks for sharing another great pic. Your site rocks!

Neat. I've seen them around on occasion and never had a clue as to what
they were.
