Alex Wild<p>Insect photographers spend a lot of effort increasing depth of field. Focus-stacks, small apertures. And that's great, I do some of that too, but there's nothing wrong with a dreamy, shallow depth photo. </p><p>Here's Prionyx parkeri, a thread-waisted wasp, in Arizona.<br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Insects</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Sphecidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sphecidae</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Wasps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wasps</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nature</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a></p>

OmilenWhen we were in Piran, we saw some wasps flying stealthily along the ground and stopped to observe them. My husband, <a class="u-url" href="https://pixelfed.social/@daniel@mstdn.degu.cl" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@daniel@mstdn.degu.cl</a>, with excellent reflexes, managed to photograph the moment a wasp jumped on a cricket and caught it.<br> With surgical precision, the wasp injected the cricket with a poison that paralyzed its nervous system. The cricket remained alive, conscious, but unable to move, trapped in its own body. The wasp then dragged the cricket to the nest.<br> The venom of these wasps is designed to attack the motor neurons of their prey, ensuring it remains alive and paralyzed for days. When the larvae hatch, they feed on the paralyzed insects. Incredible nature.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NaturePhotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NaturePhotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Wildlife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wildlife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Wasps?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wasps</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Insects?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Insects</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AmazingNature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmazingNature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Travel?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Travel</a>
Jen C Mars<p>Continually fascinated by mysterious wasps. I think a braconid, appx 3mm long. Has some nicely contrasting black markings on the back of head and thorax. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/wasps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wasps</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/insect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insect</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/MacroPhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MacroPhotography</span></a></p>
Coprolite9000 - PixelfedI have been *scandalously slow* in posting bugs - so, have an ichneumon wasp, possibly Amblyteles armatorius. West London, June 2025.<br> <br> (Owner of garden has been planting lots of things 'to attract pollinators'. Good news for bug enthusiasts: those pollinators attract loads more exciting things too, such as the damselflies!)<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.hylobatidae.org/discover/tags/insects?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#insects</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.hylobatidae.org/discover/tags/wasps?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wasps</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.hylobatidae.org/discover/tags/ichneumonidae?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ichneumonidae</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.hylobatidae.org/discover/tags/macrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macrophotography</a>

KellyAnn Romanych (she/her)Solitary wasp makes first visit of summer
Damson 🌱<p>Here are four of the wonderful insects we saw yesterday at Deep Dale Nature Reserve in Derbyshire:</p><p>1. A Hazel Leaf-Roller Weevil, on Weevil Wednesday! Lovely little cherry-red fella with an interesting head :blobaww: </p><p>2. Dark-Saddled Leucozona (or Dark-Saddled Lucozade, as my brain keeps saying it 😄). A lovely black and white hoverfly, that stood out a lot amongst all the yellow and black flower flies.</p><p>3. I think this is an Umbellifer Darwin Wasp. There were two of these on the same plant, busily scurrying all over it, hardly staying still for a moment.</p><p>4. Ferruginous Bee-Grabber! At least, I think it is, anyway. Look at that lovely curled-under abdomen, what a cutie!</p><p><a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/weevils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weevils</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/wasps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wasps</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/flies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>flies</span></a></p>
