Sapygid Wasp in California - Eusapyga verticalis - Male
Webb Canyon, ~2000 ft. altitude, Los Angeles County, California, USA
May 6, 2009
Size: ~11 mm
A side-view of the wasp as it groomed itself while clinging to a pine needle. One of the hallmark characteristics for this family (according to Borror & DeLong) is a deeply emarginate eye, which can be seen nicely in this image.
