Info Great golden digger wasp (Sphex ichneumoneus). I first came across this wasp when Douglas Hofstadter wrote about it years ago to talk about "programmed"/determined behavior (see sphexish on Wiktionary). Doesn't really mean anything as far as this photo goes, but I was glad to "put a face to the name". :) all by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 01:43, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support I'd love to see more of the flower on the left, but the main point is that the wasp is very well captured and beautiful. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:51, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
