@cassettetapecryptid submitted: Pretty sure this beautiful friend is a mud dauber, but I would love a more precise ID if possible! In [removed] (please remove location)

It is not a mud dauber! It’s a four-toothed mason wasp. They will, however, sometimes use the old nests of mud daubers :)

hey resident bugs person on my dash ! i thought this bug i saw was interesting and that you might also think she's cool! i don't know who she is! we're in a northerly part of the American Midwest if it helps w identifying her. i think she's a wasp of some kind. she's pretty, i like her wings

Oh gorgeous, thank you for sharing!!! Definitely brought a smile to my face.

As for the ID, she looks like a four-toothed mason wasp! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monobia_quadridens

Four-Toothed Mason Wasp (Monobia quadridens)

Distribution: Found throughout eastern North America, from southern Canada down to Mexico.

Habitat: Usually nests in wood borings or dirt banks; also occasionally takes over the nests of carpenter bees, ground bees and mud daubers. Prefers meadows and woodlands.

Diet: Adults feed on nectar; larvae feed on caterpillars.

Description: The four-toothed mason wasp is a non-aggressive, solitary potter wasp, though it's often mistaken for the more aggressive bald-faced hornet, sporting a similar size and color. Because of its solitary nature, however, the four-toothed mason wasp doesn't have a colony to ferociously defend like the bald-faced hornet does; for this reason, it only tends to sting when provoked.

Though adults are herbivores, larvae feed mainly on caterpillars. After a female wasp builds her nest, composed of small cells built into abandoned holes (such as the nests of other bees and wasps) or hollowed-out stems and tree branches, she will lay one fertilized egg per cell. Then, she will hunt for caterpillars, which she paralyzes with her sting, before bringing them back to store away with her eggs. Once hatched, the larvae have everything they need to grow and pupate, all within the same cell, before finally emerging as adults.

hi hello i’m working on writing down what bugs would fit different lifestealers for The Buggening and i have no clue what bug pangi or ro would be. do you have any ideas?

okay spent like 20 minutes thinking about this one and uhhhh. for pangi my first thought was to go with an armored bug cuz of the pangolin thing. here are my thoughts

isopods arent technically bugs but i think some sort of orange isopod kinda fits cuz the silly eyes would already fit some sunglasses. if not then maybe a beetle? featured is the grapevine beetle

as for ro, it was harder to think of becuz there arent many bugs with his color scheme (white/purple) so i decided to ignore the colors and go with what my heart told me to. c!ro gives me vibes like hed be an elegant insect, so i went with wasps

the first one is an american pelecinid wasp, a parasitoid wasp, and the second one is a four-toothed mason wasp

im also tempted to say he could be a centipede (the hands thing) but i associate centipedes with spoke idk. maybe a house centipede?

#hope this was at least a bit helpful!!!! #the buggening. so exciting #insect cw #bug cw #asks!

I want to note that this hole wasn't made by this wasp, but instead by a carpenter bee that had came by and left the previous year!
