A Red Sand Wasp, still in overnight dormancy, clinging to a meadow grass stem. Prosser Meadows, Ca. 8-11-24

Looks like the wasp is hugging the stem - not the usual perching stance we normally see insects doing. Nice capture.

Wow! That's amazing Kurt! Not sure I have seen one before. It's cool that it is hugging that stem.

Alan - that's how they spend the night!

Jim - they will use the same stem every night!

Looks like he's going down the bat pole!

Great shot, It kind of reminds me of a pole dancer with that pose.
