A team of eleven participated in this week's survey under hot and partly sunny conditions. Two very different small wasps in the family vespidae are shown below. The mason wasp is solitary and will put the paralyzed caterpillar prey into a nest as food for her offspring. The Mexican honey wasp is social and the sterile worker collects nectar and aphid honeydew for the hive's store of honey.
