Leucospis affinis flitting around the tomato[e] garden. - Leucospis - Female
Chamblee, DeKalb County, Georgia, USA
June 6, 2009
Size: 1/2 inch
The wasp flew around the tomato stakes, landed and explored. It settled on a spot and began to oviposit. The biomechanics of such behavior must be slightly short of fantatstic!
