Digger Wasp on Wild Grass
I found this insect around the swamp. It is called Digger Wasp (Sphex argentatus) which probably refer to its job as a digger. I guess, I came in late afternoon that made this insect was a bit calm, not making a lot of move that eased me to take a couple of shots of this good looking insect. It is also recognized as an umbrella wasp, referring to the shape of its nest. In a certain situation, the paper wasp is usually a non-aggressive stinging insect so we don't have to worry about the sting. Digger wasp is considered nationwide distribution species, making it known better than other wasps. Like other wasps, this wasp is existing in small colonies but without a true worker caste. Apart from a few infamous species, most wasps are invisible and unknown to the casual observer. They’re either too small, too fast-moving, or too rare to catch attention. After being sometime involving in hide and seek, I was finally able to take some pictures with my smartphone.
