The Aloof Wasp
Working in my garden, I noticed a small blue black wasp flicking its shiny wings as it dashed across the dirt, searching here and there, looking for a spider. Yellow jackets, paper wasps and bald faced hornets are the very model of teamwork. The solitary wasp have an incredible variety in their lifestyle and shapes, but one thing binds them together injecting eggs directly into their victim while larvae consume its innards. The larva, having molted five or so times, will be at full adult weight and pupate (form a cocoon), emerge as an adult and continue the cycle.
