Another #DarwinWasp from my #Canberra #Malaise trap: a female #Myrmeleonostenus, likely undescribed, from 10-17 Dec 2021

Preparing #Hymenoptera specimens feels like a decadent luxury. I always break legs and rub off scales when I try to pin #microlepidoptera. Gluing insects to card is SO much easier. I made a real mess with too much glue on this one, but cleaning it and redoing it was simple.

Confession: I now glue #wasps that normal hymenopterists would pin.
