RE: Cerceris insolita, a weevil wasp

Wow beautiful macros. I like the yellow stripes on the abdomen of this insect. I once read that these insects have these bands for camouflage so their natural predators think it is a dangerous wasp and don't approach it. I loved reading your post!

Thank you.
Yes there could be some bio-mimicry here. A lot of wasps have this black and yellow patterning but not all of them. I guess it is an effective evolutionary strategy!

Yes, nature is amazing!
