yesterday's guest star

Sep 17, 2020 15:25

I was sitting at my desk yesterday and something big buzzed by my head. I lost track of it until later when I was in the bathroom and happened to raise my eyes to the top of the door. Not a great position to be in when one discovers that something very large and spiky is sitting there watching you. (At least I wasn't asleep this time?)

So last night's google search was for "insects with a long spike coming out of the back".

Turned out to be a female ichneumon wasp. Harmless to humans, lethal to ash borer larvae. We caught her and put her outside. This entry was originally posted at https://the-siobhan.dreamwidth.org/540040.html. There are
