I found another wasp lifer while walking the pasture perimeter. A tiny mason wasp on a vine leaf. Colorful with black & yellow body and red legs.
Single blue-green individual observed on cigar plant. I suspect that this is Halictinae, but because I am unsure, I have left the identification at the family level until someone corrects it. Overcast, breezy, 83F.
October 10 was the fall bioblitz at Oliver Nature Park, and I even had the chance to go out and get some observations! :)
It was a blast -- 66 folks (children and adults) showed up, and I think everyone had a good time. Yippee, nature! :)
Explored this little area at lunch today. These are such great corridors for wildlife!
Found this wasp out this morning checking out mist flower in the misty rain. I think it might be an ichneumon type. It was small about 1.5 cm.
have more pictures if need a certain feature but was hard to get as it crawled around and under the plants.
