Arotes decorus

bugguide.net/node/view/672432/bgimage This is one of the wasps photographed on a mini-Bioblitz which I experienced during a 10-day period in July of 2012. It was a very hot, dry summer but for some reason during this period an unusual number of insects showed up in a small area of a conservancy area where I go to photograph sometimes. I ended up photographing around 30+ Ichneumons and Braconids and an additional 30+ assortment of other wasps, bees, flies and beetles which I had seen before.
