#blue mud wasp

[thedawner]

Dowze is a Blue Mud Dauber Wasp who likes to do plein-air works (she likes to daub geddit—now why’d I say that). So far she’s sold off only pieces that have a luscious abdomen inserted somewhere in the image.

She was designed by @bongwaterdrinker69 ! Might turn her into a fursona and A Bug’s Life fan character.

Was hanging in the pool with my mom, beating the heat any way we could, and saw a very scary looking wasp keep landing on the edge of the pool, look down to the water, and then launch again into its creepy waspy flight path.

It looked like this:

So I grabbed a double handful of pool water (I should note that it’s a saltwater pool) and poured it carefully on the edge of the pool, then backed away to watch.

The wasp landed. It explored. It found the (rapidly evaporating) water. It took a quick drink. It flew off in a much more peppy manner.

I thought that was the end of it.

Then it came back - with a friend.

Much yikes were had.

Anyway, after some research I discovered that it is the Blue Mud Wasp, also known as the Black Widow Killer. It is not aggressive towards humans. It is a friend.

And I helped it. (And I hope it realized that the fountain had fresh water, while the pool is very, very salty.)

Friend!

Friend make mess.

And a sharp friend!

Sharp friends don't belong in the house.

And another vague brown bird, though it's less vague than the last one.

Silly little group of what I believe to be chalybion californicum? They were very kind and allowed me to take a few pics :)

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

@illogicalghost submitted: hi! i have 3 bugs to share ^_^ first is a wasp(?) that looks really cool. i think the one on the left in the second photo might also be a wasp? it flew up to this cricket on the right and landed on top of it, and they walked around together. not sure if it was trying to eat the cricket or what. it was like an inch long and shiny black, very pretty. they were found in southern wisconsin. 🐝🦗

Hello! They are both definitely wasps yes. The first is a yellow-legged mud-dauber and the second is likely a steel-blue cricket-hunter given its prey there! Great black digger wasps will also prey on crickets (and other Orthopterans) but their bodies are not as blue as this one is. Anyhoo she's gonna bring that cricket to her nest for her babies to nibble :)

Saw the most prettiest lady today! She had a perfect body, and color! Absolutely gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️

Bug tw

She’s a Blue Mud Dauber Wasp! Apparently, based on surface research, she’s a non aggressive species of wasp. So if you leave her alone, she’ll leave you alone

Definitely recommend searching up professional pictures of them! Absolutely gorgeous bug

I never feel so lucky as when a glimpse of unexpected colour leads me to meet a new acquaintance. Lovely lovely lovely. I was so struck by the iridescent blue that I didn't recognize familiar forms. I'm fairly certain this is mud-dauber wasp. Less certain of particular species.
