Instead, today I got these things that I don't recognize. Two wasps emerged, apparently identical, only one shown here.
Does anybody know what it is?






Canon T1i camera with Canon 100 mm macro lens, Canon 580 EX II flash bounced off the ceiling. Small squares are 1mm, ink jet printer. The wasp was chilled in a refrigerator then photographed while still torpid. But they're pretty calm anyway. I haven't seen one try to fly yet. They just walk, and not very fast at that.
