[PHOTOS TAKEN: SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2024 | Image IDs: Two photos of two different wasps in the grass and leaf litter, both are red/orange and black with mostly opaque black wings, but the first one is one of two species of red paper wasp, while the second one is a rusty spider wasp /End IDs.]
A red paper wasp (Polistes carolina or Polistes rubiginosus) and a rusty spider wasp (Tachypompilus ferrugineus), very different from each other but both featuring beautiful rusty shades of red! ^^
