Beewolf, Philanthus sp. (Crabronidae) from Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. As one might expect, this genus of predatory wasps primarily preys on bees. Philanthus is notable for their habit of precisely stinging their bee prey in their membranous undersides and carrying away their paralyzed quarry in such a way that the bee's stinger is only able to strike at the most heavily-armored parts of the wasp's body.
One of the orange-patched bumblebees (Bombus sp.) drinks nectar and collects pollen in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
