GGDW at nest
This beautiful wasp was visiting a nest every 15-30 minutes, but I never saw it bring prey. It did excavate the nest hole some. I was able to set up a tripod and stake out the site. The wasp was slowed, perhaps, by the slightly cool weather--70s (F)--on a cloudy summer day. Happy Wing Wednesday!
