Subject: [NatureNS] Spider Wasps?
Nancy, Your photo looks to me like a Neuropteran of some kind or "fish =
fly" or "alder fly", and not a wasp. If I am right, the larvae are =
aquatic, and the adults may have just emerged from a lake or pond? =
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.

happened to be in their flight path. "Drowsy" would be an apt =

If I have them IDed correctly as Spider Wasps (do I?) it is hard to =
believe that such a seemingly torpid insect could catch a spider.=20
Thanks, Nancy
