154/366 Thread Waisted Wasp

This wasp will ambush its prey immobilize it with a swift powerful sting. It will then drag the prey into an underground lair and will lay one egg. When the egg hatches the larvae feeds on the prey. Adults feed on flower nectar and small insects. They are not aggressive towards humans but I don't think I'd want to annoy one.
