Further up the Beach

Bembix americana

Bembix something

Bicyrtes ventralis.

Ten feet up from the fiddler crab flats seen in Tuesday’s post, three species of Bembicini sand wasps were scoping out the terrain. The tiny strip of beach at Bush Terminal Park is habitat for these nesters in the sand. One more species, Microbembex monodonta, should start showing up soon.
