Description: Abispa ephippium Over the past few weeks we have been sitting near a pond/dam of water waiting for birds to come in to drink. The large orange wasps have been coming in for a drink and pick up their mates. This female had landed on a stick in the water to have a drink but a male flew in, picked her up and took her away!
