A specimen from the collection. Coordinates were obtained from the GPS when collecting the specimen. These coordinates are the center of the area, where a series of specimens was collected, the accuracy is determined by the size of the area.

I feel like I have seen this one before but I can't find it in my observations

Had a nice day in the Upper and Middle Keys. I came down to give a talk to the Garden Club of the Upper Keys in Tavernier at 11AM and spent the rest of the day bioblitzing a few spots.

All of my observations from today: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?on=2023-03-21&order_by=observed_on&place_id=any&user_id=joemdo

Looks like a small wasp. Very intent on eating (?) sticky clear globules (honeydew?) on flower stem. Actually it picked up one of the small globes and flew around with it on its mouth for a while, then landed back in the same spot.

Everything went wrong. Wasp was in a darkish house, my flash was not handy, and the wasp seldom showed its head.

The wasp was inspecting the holes in a picture frame made of wormy chestnut.

Trypoxylon sp.?
