A still slightly blacker...
individual of Myzinum. There seems to be quite a plenty of them in this place. On the other hand, they are certainly very striking on the field.

Funny, I never saw many wasps until recently.
That goes particularly for this park. Now they're among my favorites. I think what's happened is that I spend less time walking the trails - where they're hunting and therefore hard to spot and shoot - and more time stationing myself by the few blooming plants. (We've had a terrible drought. Normal rain fall is about 14 inches annually, and last year it was around 2.)

I've discovered...
your three specimens just in the other way you posted them. That's why my last comment alludes to pictures posted later.

No problem.
On future posts, I should count down instead of up, knowing the way the material will display.
