The incredibly thin 'waist' on this wasp led to its name.
Adults feed on flower nectar, but larvae are parasitic.
Females use their paralyzing sting to disable caterpillars and other insects. These unfortunate victims are then brought to an underground burrow (previously dug out by the female) to become food for the wasp's larva.

We needed some ubolts to mount the PV wire concentrator box with. We
of course would not find a ubolt suitable for this in my small town.
Instead we purchased two long all thread bolts and smoke made use of a
old propane forge to heat and bend them with.
I save every thread unless its too short to embroider with.......Now I use the pieces as fillers, using all the color shades as one, ie., all shades of yellow as one yellow--that way I get a random variegation which I like. In Gabby's piece that is how I did it......

Taken off the beaten track about 90km North East of Serra da Leba Pass in South-West Angola. Still not sure what species this is.
This Thread-legged Bug, Stenolemus lanipes, was on the outside of my kitchen window. I've seen one just once before, in a spider web, where they pirate prey from the web or prey on the spiders themselves. Their legs have this amazing hairiness--I wonder if that somehow keeps the spider web from sticking? Body length 8 mm.
This shot with the dark background showed off the hairy legs. The species name lanipes means "wool-foot".

Blatchley, in Heteroptera of Eastern North America (here), quotes a great description of this beast:
"This is an extremely curious insect, built in the most intangible manner." The short, wide head, very large eyes, slender neck, lobes of pronotum so formed as to resemble a dumb-bell, and slender antennae and legs, densely clothed with long fine silky erect hairs, make a combination unique in our Heteropterous fauna.

Today it's small, Japanese spools of metalic thread lying upon a length of Tsumugi silk.

things are hanging on a thread, a very thin thread... and the second thing is threat - it's the danger in the eye of a tiger.

This woman has been working to color the silk threads used in her weaving by tying plastic strips around the threads like tie dye. During our baseline survey in Bati, Takeo Province - Cambodia.
In order to span a distance, the first strand a spider releases from its spinneret glands is left to float in the wind and attach to an object on the far side. This is called the bridge thread. This one happens to be in front of this train bridge. I didn't wait to see if this spider went on to create a capture web. I didn't see the spider at all. Maybe this was a trick to lure me into poison ivy to get this shot.
