This is a duplicate to ID the insect (wasp?) that is holding onto the abdomen of the bee. My guess is that it is parasitic. The bee seemed stunned and not very responsive to touch.

landon303Description
Found flying around "oddly" & not like the paper wasps I've seen gathering wood from a stack of pallets over the past few weeks. Sweep netted & examined, saw strepsiptera haning out! (exciting!). After a lot of reading I think I have a female adult in the family xenidae as it's gone after a paper wasp. If anyone has advice on rearing it and successfully attracting + capturing an adult male please let me know, as I'd love to photograph one! Else I'll just be looking for more strange behavior wasps in this area & checking them... eventually I'll find one!
