A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Megascolia maculata
A very large wasp (5cm) moving from flower to flower. The head was a yellow orange colour and its abdomen had yellow transverse markings like conjoined spots. The wasp was not aggressive and was only interested in collecting nectar.
This was found in the morning on the East facing side of a 700m hill. The terrain was rocky with scrub and low lying bushes and occasional short trees. A few flowering plants scattered around. The temperature was approximately 30 degrees celsius.
