A strategy to escape predation of the robber fly kind is to become too big, or too small, like this solitary bee, Nomioides sp. Seen here foraging on fennel flowers, which are tiny. The bee is not larger than about 3 mm.

Just now at a community garden I saw a yellowjacket (_Vespula maculifrons_) cutting a piece of squash flower like a leaf-cutter bee!!! What??

So I think these are eggs of the oak lace bug (Corythucha arcuata) but an expert says they are Eulophus cocoons. Anyone able to weigh in? #hemiptera #hymenoptera #insects #wasps #truebugs #oaks #quercus #inaturalist #eulophus https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/381795284

... which I saw while chasing a velvet ant male around a fig tree bark, as it was walking slowly.
The velvet ant, a male, is perhaps Ronisia brutia, but I am not sure:

Small (~1.25mm) wasp that I've been finding in large numbers on yarrow growing in my yard. I'll probably never be sure, but my guess is that it's Aprostocetus anodaphus (Eulophidae), an endoparasite of Ozirhincus millefolii (Cecidomyiidae), which I've found on the same inflorescences in equally large numbers. As far as I know it has never been reported in North America. Please go out and check for them if you have yarrow and a macro lens. #wasps #hymenoptera #yarrow #achillea #flies #parasite #nature #insects #macrophotography

In case anyone needs to know, if you jostle an inflorescence of yarrow over a piece of white paper, very small (1 mm) wasps fall out. Most tend to hop around instead of flying away. Extremely hard to photograph, disappearing and reappearing like miniature Nightcrawlers from the X-Men universe. Am going to chill some plants to slow them down, so stay tuned if you're interested. You're interested, right?? #wasps #yarrow #achillea #insects #hymenoptera

In my opinion the best bee butts belong to wool carder bees (_Anthidium_). They are just so round and cute and completely unmistakable.
Like other bees in the megachilid family, they collect pollen under their abdomens, not on their legs. They also scrape fuzz off the leaves of plants like lamb's ear (_Stachys byzantina_) for their nests, hence the name. They seem to like plants in the mint family in general.

Could anyone help me identify this wasp please?! We’re in the French Alps at a lake at about 1100m (near Bourg-d’Oisans). About 20–30 mm long, with a very elongated thorax, thread-like waist, smoky wings, mostly black body with narrow yellow bands, and strongly hooked antennae (all individuals appeared to have them). They were remarkably agile, running over wet lakeside rocks. About 5 of them engaging in searching/foraging behaviour.

At Spadina Quay yesterday, it was moving day for this colony of ants (_Crematogaster_?). Workers were carrying pupae up the wooden railroad-tie pillar. There were many alate pupae which were so large they required a whole team to move! Still, they were making steady progress. Various predators, like sphecid wasps and zebra jumping spiders, looked on with interest.
The waterfront was full of people, many soccer fans, tourists, or just regular people, out enjoying the summer weather, oblivious to the incredible activity happening just steps away.
