Three and out! Sometimes you just cannot keep up with a downy jumping spider!

The last 3 are of a parasitic wasp is getting perilously close to the hole where my mason bees are nesting... I hope the search has ended at this hole!

Well, in this case I would favor the bees as we need them desperately right now.

Also if a hyena is going after a threatened species, why not help on the side of good!

I have researched the wasp - fortunately, this one is Crossocerus sp. - a wasp that predates on either flies or leafhoppers.
