Can you spot the wasp in this photograph?
Did you know that wasps come in all sizes, including tinier than an aphid?
The yellow oleander aphids return each year about this time and feed on our desert milkweed. In turn, a number of other organisms use them for food, such as the tiny wasps.
We have a lot of honey bees active on our fairy duster and rosemary plants this week.
Any idea what these honey bees are doing?
A few months ago I took this photograph of a passion vine leaf.
I had a suspicion that the yellow dots might be insect-related, but I wasn’t sure. I found out the answer a few days ago.
So, what do you think? Insect-related or not?
The flowers of this passion vine (Passiflora mexicana) are not as showy as some, but still are unusual.
Edit:Â The answer is now up at my Wild About Ants blog.
