The Wasp and the Bee The Wasp and the Bee
Posted by: bmoisset

Video duration: 60 seconds

An Augochlorini bee harassing a Bicyrtes wasp. Why is this little bee so upset? Did she mistake this hunter of stink bugs and the like for the dreaded bee-wolf, Philanthus? Both Bicyrtes and Philanthus have a similar pattern, but only Philanthus is a threat to bees. Does the bee-wolf mimic the bug hunter to confuse its intended prey, the bee? A wolf in Bicyrtes clothes? Does anybody know?
