My search to find out what it was lead me to your site. I'm in Australia so they really must be a successful creature. Thanks, I saw one of the blue black spider wasps near my house.

I mostly find them dead on the wood floor, in front of the window. I have no idea where they are coming from, and would love to see them gone. Any ideas?

My husband and I keep two hives of honeybees (one in our suburban backyard), and overcoming the neighbors' prejudices is a constant battle. Granted, I'm not too fond of yellowjackets--particularly when we've had inordinate numbers of them this past year. But some of the wasps we see are truly gorgeous creatures. It's nice to know that we have a little company in our appreciation for these fascinating creatures, so thanks again! I just wanted to say a big “Thank you” for this.
