Wasps and Hornetsblue wasp
Hi bugman,
Will you tell me what this blue wasp is?. Sorry for the pic quality. I looked at some of your wasp pictures and I don’t know if you have him posted yet. Please don’t post this photo on your ‘bug carnage’ page….I’m doing an insect collection for my biology class and so I’m supposed to kill every insect I see, in the name of education. And I didn’t squash him or swat him to death like some of those other people did…and he is really rather pretty (for a wasp.)
Thank you so much!
Erika
Hi Erika,
We thought this looked like one of the Cricket Hunters, so we wrote to Eric Eaton. Here is his response: "Yes, that is a very nicely mounted specimen of Chlorion aerarium, the species that hunts crickets (no official common name that I know of)."
