The return of Gasteruption Jaculator
Last year I posted a few shots of this bizarre creature, a wasp parasitic on solitary bees. For some reason I didn’t include this shot of gasteruption in flight, so here it is now. This is just for you, Gunta, because I know how much you like my buggy posts 😉
Excellent capture, Rachael!
Thank you, Gracie. Just slowly catching up with old comments. Sorry for the delay!
utterly weird , and just as brilliant Rachael.
you are a serious talent
Thank you, Andy. Just slowly catching up with old comments. Sorry for the delay!
Excellent – it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.
The head is modelled after the “good” aliens in the Fifth Element. As for the rest, screenwriters don’t have that kind of imagination.
Fifth Element…. mmmm – may favourite element. 😉
Thank you, Chaps. Just slowly catching up with old comments. Sorry for the delay!
It is seriously weird isn’t it.. I’ve taken some photos of one ( or something very like it) on my favourite dill plant.. I might get around to posting them sometime..great to get it flying..
Thank you, Helen. Just slowly catching up with old comments. Sorry for the delay!
