Field Notes

Description:

female laying her egg; 12 mm;

Habitat:

sunny South facing slope with clay soil on urban schoolyard

Notes:

they come for a few weeks every year to this same spot; there are many thousands of nests; though scary in the sheer number of them you can walk right through them and not get stung they are not aggressive at all
