Thanks Alice. Yeah, going north would have been fun, but I'm not sure going wilderness canoeing in a snowstorm is a good idea...grin.
Nice! I think you made the right choice about the canoe trip!
That is a striking color, and you got it very well, Gordon. Congratulations.
Thanks for the correction and the additional info. Appreciate it very much.
awesome pic gordon!
the body on Cuckoo wasps isn shorter, the eyes are biger, the legs are slender, and the wing venation is remarkably different
Juan,
Thanks. I went back and forth. Can you elaborate on how you made that distinction?
Hi Gordon. This is not a wasp, is an Halictid male bee
