These sand wasps need a lot of sand. In the park people do all sorts of sports a keep growth scarce. Bembix rostrata digs a 10cm diagonal duct (leading to the nesting chamber) and that very quickly with synchronized movements of their forelegs. The prey are flies of different sizes (here a big Syrphid I guess) that are fed to the larvae- sometimes up to 50 per larva - After every visit to the nest the opening is carefully closed i.e. pawed shut [Heiko Bellmann, 1999, translated].Phylum: Arthropoda (artrhropods, Gliederfer)Subphylum: HexapodaClass: Insecta (insects, Insekten)Subclass: PterygotaOrder: Hymenoptera (Hautflgler)Suborder: Apocrita (wasps, bees & ants; Taillenwespen)Superfamily: Apoidea (Bienen & Grabwespen)Family: Crabronidae LATREILLE, 1802 (kind of sand wasps, eine Familie der Sandwespen)Subfamily: BembicinaeGenus: Bembix (Kreiselwespe)Bembix rostrata FABRICIUS, 1781 (Geschnbelte Kreiselwespe)NE-Germany, Berlin: Hasenheide (parc), 11.08.2012 IMG_1948

Lipotriches flavoviridisIt is the first time we have seen this particular bee swarm like this. There were two grass heads with bees that had settled. Another two plants had swarms of bees flying around trying to settle but a wasp kept on disturbing them. Photos: Fred

Thanks to John Ascher over at bugguide for the ID.This is the first time I have see a carpenter bee at the front end of the flower, normally they punch a hole in the base of the tube to steal nectar.
