A Tale of Two Wasps
This one honestly freaks me out. It’s called “A Tale of Two Wasps,” for pretty obvious reasons. And it won French photographer Frank Deschandol the top award in the Invertebrates Behavior category.
The wasps in the picture are a red-banded sand wasp on the left and a cuckoo wasp on the right. The two are just about to enter the holes they prepared to nest in. As someone who is generally creeped out by leggy bugs, I can at least appreciate the brilliant colors on both wasps. OK, Frank, I see you.
