The story is....on my husband's sandtrap, there hover many, many, many little black striped flying things that look like bees...but they are very passive...they just hover. they have little holes dug out of the sand, which they keep very neat and tidy....then along comes this BIG galoot....all bright orange and yellow, and when it flies in, it gets the little black striped guys all crazy. They actually dive bomb it, trying to knock it down to the ground. After a few close calls the big orange and yellow one enters the little cave...then backs out with it's front arms carrying a wad of dirt, which it proceeds to smooth out in front of the hole...it does this several times before flying off for a few moments and then comes back and the process begins all over again!! i am now going to bed...i am going to pull out my insect book (I am such a nerd!!) and find out what this is all about!! Once again the 3 year old me needs to know "WHY?"!!
