Hello,

On the first picture, if I don't make a mistake, there are two males (curved end of the antenna). The second is a female (straight antennas).


Well, if they are males it can't be a sting with venom. Either it is just some light effect in the eye of the other wasp or it might be sperm (?). Anyway, this frentic activity could also be some sort of male competition for the females.

Need your help, Christian ! :p
