Is this a new species...? I dont know if u can see it but there is a solitary hornet (spider is just photobombing). There are some solitary hornets coming and going here from the old solitary bee nests. I saw one drag a caterpillar into one of the small bamboo tube, so they're definitely not bees. An internet search for "solitary hornet" didnt reveal anything. I dont think these little guys are behaving like wasps. They look, and are behaving, like hornets.
The place where I live is very predator friendly! But this was totally new for me, I have never seen or heard of such a thing!
Edit: now that I am looking closer I can see the narrow waist, so its just a solitary wasp. I havent seen this species or the tube-seeking behavior before. Its probably a common species that goes unnoticed.
