Bill Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) Very interesting. I may learn something here. I thought Hymenoptera have 4 wings, (unless I can't see 2 of them). I also didn't know that some were/are hairy. EDIT: had another look, what I thought were veins may be the leading edges of the other 2 wings. Edited May 18, 2010 by Bill KOF, Bill.

jsw Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Some hymenopterans have very small hind wings, so they're probably not readily apparent in the picture. Very neat wasp with amazing preservation! - Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
