Saturday's Squirrel.

Don't bother it...

What is this insect found in a bush outside of Steds? Thanks to assistance of Fr. Terry Ehrman, CSC, theologian and botanist, it has been identified none other than the Blue-Winged Wasp. This wasp may not have the brightest or even most iridescent blue wings, but if light hits it at the right angle, you can see the blue. Still, the most telling feature of this wasp is not its blue color but rather the yellow spots on its abdomen. Fr. Terry Ehrman, CSC, says that the Blue-Winged Wasp can sting, but it is not aggressive. On spotting this winged insect, Fr. Ehrman said, “It would be best to just admire for afar.”
