Thursday is Butterfly Day and Insect Day Giveaway- Week 50

(Edited)

For this week of insects and butterflies I found a wasp that cuts the petals off the flowers, I don't know why. I saw him cutting the petals off a beautiful flower that I don't bring here because it's the insect that matters.

This wasp is black, I was looking for references about it, I did some research and ended up confused. The first time I see a wasp that is interested in the petals of a flower. I even recorded the crime but lost it when I formatted the phone, forgot to pass it to the computer. I'm so sorry.

Anyway, this wasp seemed to be working alone. Black wasps are almost alone, so I guess my friend is in this group. I researched on the web but didn't understand much, only that black wasps are considered pest controllers since they eat other smaller insects, thus contradicting what I observed.

I am grateful to anyone who has knowledge of this wasp, please leave a comment.

Thank you @whatisnew for this contest that allows us to expand the knowledge about insects.

That wasp ate the flower? I didn't know they did that. Live and learn, as a good friend told me!

They're working insects. And their community attitude is what surprises me the most.

Me alegra saberte por este micromundo amigo @yonnathang, gracias por tu comentario. Sí, son insectos muy trabajadores, aunque no todos son sociables, hay unos que son solitarios.

I have heard of a few species of wasps that do eat flowers but I have never seen it before. Wasps like to eat honeydew which is secreted by aphids so maybe there was some honeydew on these petals? Anyway, this was a great capture. : )

It may be, my friend, that there was something sweet in that flower. Thank you for your comment and congratulations on this initiative where we can learn from these animals.
