@Serpyderpy It was so chill it let me pat it's back! It flew out of a ground squirrel burrow and landed on the grass.

@REEFSPIDER so do they hijack other wasp nests and lay their eggs inside them?

@RezonantVoid yup, they lay their egg in a host nest, that hatches into a young wasp that then devours whatever host species larva is in the nest .
