Berlin, Germany. 14th June, 2025. 14.06.2025, Berlin. A spiny mason wasp (Odynerus spinipes) brings the green larvae of a weevil or snout beetle ((Curculionidae) to its clay brood tube. The wasp thus builds up a supply for its brood. Spiny mason wasps exclusively collect larvae of weevils of the genus Phytonomus.

Berlin, Germany. 14th June, 2025. 14.06.2025, Berlin. A cuckoo wasp or emerald wasp (Chrysididae) sits on a mud wall. There are over 100 species of cuckoo wasps in Central Europe and all live as parasites. Their hosts are other wasps and wild bees, whose brood is usually parasitized by the larvae of the cuckoo wasps.
