Mason wasp (Ancistrocerus sp.)

Today, inspired by Diane's observations of so many insect species yesterday, I sought out some still-flowering goldenrod and sure enough, there were some tachinid flies, a couple of tarnished plant bugs, and this very slow-moving mason wasp who was probably, sadly, at the end of his life span. I say "he" because this looks like a male, with the yellow face.

A breathtaking capture, fantastic framing and focus, a slightly dreamy quality sets it apart. VVVVV
