Cuckoo wasps are some of the most beautiful insects on the planet. Sure, parasitic, but as far as I know they are all native in my area (Pennsylvania). #chrysididae #wasps

Five second video of a parasitic cuckoo wasp at one of my insect hotels. I love how their antennae are always in motion. And their huge eyes. And their metallic color. But huge pain to ID. #InsectHotel #BeeHotel #CuckooWasp #chrysididae #insects #bees #wasps

#Cuckoowasps (#Chrysididae) always have a close relationship with other insects, mostly other #Hymenoptera, they can be brood parisites, which kill the host larva but mostly feeding their #foodsupply. They can also be #parasitoids that feed on older larvae or pupae. I previously identified the species shown as #Hedychrum #rutilans, but it may be H. #gerstaeckeri, the #hosts would then be: #Cerceris rybyensis and C. ruficornis. #biodiversity

@alexwild That's a lot of Chrysis!
My favourite Chrysididae is the Emerald Cuckoo wasp, Stilbum cyanurum. Always get a kick out of seeing it again, most often on mint flowers.

Diese #Goldwespe sitzt an einem Insektenhotel - was man hier nicht erkennt - und verrät so, wie sie ihren Lebensunterhalt verdient: Sie parasitiert an #Wildbienen. Hier blieb sie aber ohne Erfolg, das Hotel hatte keine Gäste.

Goldwespen nennen wir Biologen diese Wunderwesen - auch wenn hier eher Metallic-Blau und -Rot zu sehen sind.
