Searching Flowers. Potter Wasp, Ancistrocerus sp., on Achillea millefolium, Comon Yarrow, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
It is said Yarrow's Latin name comes from the story that the great Greek hero Achilles used it to help heal his wounds. Of course, it didn't help the heel wound caused by a poisoned arrow shot off by Paris. It killed him...
Here a flower umbel is offering sustenance to a small Potter Wasp, identified by Bernhard Jacobi as an Ancistrocerus. Many thanks!
