Guy_VO<p>Niet alleen lieveheersbeestjes, zweefvliegen en gaasvliegen eten bladluizen.<br>Ook de larven van piepkleine sluipwespen eten ze op. Het wespje legt een eitje in de bladluis, de larve eet de bladluis van binnenuit op terwijl de huid van de bladluis mummificeert en een cocon vormt. Je ziet op de foto ook de gaatjes waar de wespjes uitgeslopen zijn. Waarschijnlijk gaat het hier om een sluipwesp van het geslacht Aphidius. <a href="https://mastodon-belgium.be/tags/wasps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wasps</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon-belgium.be/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon-belgium.be/tags/insectodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insectodon</span></a></p>

Colin Purrington<p>Aphid wasp (Pemphredon sp.) on a fava bean leaf. These are cavity nesters and will cram dozens of paralyzed aphids into a hollow stem for a single larva to consume.

Albert Cardona<p>“To identify a wasp with certainty it is thus always necessary to take a specimen, and it is the ecologist's abiding dilemma that if he catches an animal to identify it he can no longer watch it; if he leaves it so that he can watch its behaviour he cannot name it with certainty; and if he doesn't know what it is, he doesn't know what to look out for.”</p><p>From: “Solitary wasps”, by Peter Yeo and Sarah Corbet.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/iNaturalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iNaturalist</span></a> has changed this lots, but not entirely for wasps: most it can only identify to the family level, or at best the genus.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>entomology</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/wasps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wasps</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SolitaryWasps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolitaryWasps</span></a></p>
Colin Purrington<p>Isodontia mexicana, a grass-carrying wasp that provisions nests with paralyzed tree crickets. This individual emerged from a cocoon that was in the observation panel of my insect hotel. I'm hoping this year that some will move into the pitcher plant (Sarracenia sp.) that I have growing in my new mini pond. Because apparently they do that. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/InsectHotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InsectHotel</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/wasps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wasps</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/crickets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crickets</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/sarracenia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sarracenia</span></a></p>
