a little wild   (a small slice of wildlife)

Again, little choice but to go during the hottest part of the day.  Relatively little insect activity because of that, I think.  As always, worth the walk!

Start off with non-insect photo, just one:

This weevil: Curculionidae –> Entiminae (Broad-nosed weevils).  Perhaps Asiatic oak weevil, Cyrtepistomus castaneus.

Some sort of egg, perhaps?  Pretty cute.

EDIT: Encyrtidae.  Compare with Encyrtus — https://bugguide.net/node/view/1702308

American toad.

Sarcophagidae?

Love the handsome trigs!

Perhaps a male Crabronidae wasp.

Some sort of Ichneumonid.  Spilopteron?

EDIT: “One of the cryptine ichneumons, maybe around Polycyrtus sp. ”

Don’t know what this is:

Perhaps a Pompillid wasp.

Female Mutillid wasp.  Timulla?  EDIT: “Pseudomethoca has a wider head, usually” — so it looks like I actually guessed correctly!  Weirder things have happened, but not often.
