Guys. There's freaking gagobears in my yard.
Sorry for no wasp today— the queue ran out and while I have a bunch of wasps in the drafts (about 50...) I havent had the time or energy to finish up researching them to a satisfying enough degree. I should be able to get back on that soon though. In the meantime, if you have any wasps you'd like to see, be it a specific one, a certain family, or even just a color feel free to send an ask and I'll see what I can do. Your own wasp observations or experiences are also always welcome.
Take this funky sawfly hugging a leaf as an apology:

Reveler conservation area, Canada.
I also saw one of Tremex columba's nemeses: Megarhyssa macrurus (I believe).
