Small Ant Mimic Wasp
Copyright © 2019 Sara Simpkins

Small Ant Mimic Wasp
Pacific Heights Neighborhood , Saskatoon and Area, Saskatchewan, Canada
June 1, 2019
This small wasp was captured in our large outdoor storage tent, put in a small plastic container and refrigerated for little more then an hour.

It warmed up very quickly and did not stay still or complacent long so it was hard to get many clear photos. It moved and reminded me of an ant but was clearly some type of wasp.
