tiny wasp - Nomada - Female
Boone County, Missouri, USA
April 1, 2012
this tiny wasp was very interested in an area that was heavily populated with adult tiger beetles (C. repanda) and larval burrows. It would land for only very brief moments, mostly it searched, hovering just above the ground in this area
