The Bembix sand wasps are a genus of insects that may rarely be noticed. Despite this, they are beneficial to people. Unlike other parasitoid wasps, Bembix spp. continually care for their larva. They return to the tunnel dug in the sand and bring the young one fly after another to feed on. One larva can consume over 25 flies before maturing.
You can see in this photo the proficiency with which sand wasps dig. This one is using her front legs to spray the sand up and out of the hole, shooting it under her abdomen and behind her. They are fun to watch, harmless, and keep the population of biting flies on the beach at bay. Very cool insects!
