The sun peeked through the clouds only at the end of a very overcast and cool morning as four participants completed this week's survey. Cuckoo wasps are so named because they lay their eggs in the nests of other solitary wasps and bees. When the cuckoo wasp grub hatches, it kills the host's eggs or young and feeds on the stored food.
