looks funny. no idea.
now i crave knowing hymenopteran parasites
your pix, Rob, always make me wish i knew the depicted group really well to put names on every one... that's the impact of your work -- on at least some people.
each photo says you really know what you're doing and what to look for.

Thanks for the nice words. I
Thanks for the nice words.
I have come to the group where I have the most undetermined insects, parasitic Apocrita. About all the Hymenoptera that I couldn't readily determine family got stuffed into one huge folder. There are probably well more than a hundred types. I realize that I have barely looked at many of these and it is like discovering them for the first time almost.
I will post a lot, but I'm not expecting much from such a hard-to-determine-from-photos group. But if I get certain families or subfamilies it will be an improvement, and perhaps some very distinctive ones will go further.
