Sand Wasp

Hi everybody
I hope you are fine, I want to share photos about macros, let me know how you feel via comments.

Bembicini, or sand wasps
is a large tribe of crabronid wasps, consisting of 20 genera. Bembicines are predators of various groups of insects. The type of prey caught tends to be consistent within each genus, with flies (Diptera) being the most common type of prey taken. The nest is usually a short, simple burrow, with one enlarged chamber at the bottom containing freshly paralyzed prey for the developing wasp larvae; eggs are sometimes laid before the chamber is completely filled. Many females typically excavate nests in small areas of suitable soil, thus creating large and sometimes very dense nest clusters, which tend to attract various species of flies and parasitic wasps, many of which are kleptoparasites; in some cases, sand wasps prey on their own parasites, a very rare phenomenon in the animal world. Although sand wasps are usually yellow and black, there are also black and white ones with bright green eyes.

This wasp caught my attention the most for my photo, having to be patient and waiting for the right moment under the hot sun was a challenge, I hope you like it
