Wasp - Eumenes crucifera
Elkton, Douglas County, Oregon, USA
June 2, 2010
I wondered about this nest off and on during the winter. March 14 I looked and found it appearing still viable. Curious to see the end result, I clipped the branch and took in the nest. June 2 this little fellow emerged. After the photo-shoot, and a few sips of water for the wasp, I returned it to the Comice Pear tree where it had overwintered.
