Podagritus, a ground-nesting wasp species I watched for many hours last year. But in that time I never did spot a mated pair. Paul captured this pair on 13th October, our first sighting for the season.

Pison … this species is smaller than many in the genus. Pison paralyse and gather spiders on which to raise their larvae. They typically use mud to build cells in nooks and crannies.
