I was thrilled to find these little wasps in the flowers near my house! It's unbelievable what you find if you start looking! I had no clue we had little guys like this in Calgary!

Lovely series :)
Nice digger wasp in #1& #2
Alby or Racketman will know what #3 is- a;ways forget the name of those tiny flies.

Thanks Brian! Your compliments mean a lot to me! I'm terrible at guessing size, but for scale, the flower is about the size of a quarter.

There were lots of these little wasps there, so I'm going to go back tomorrow, and see if I can get my self some more interestng angles on them!

Looking foreward to hearing from Alby and Racketman, as they've both been very helpfull thus far! You guys are all great!
