Stopped by this organic farm to see what kind of produce they were selling. They had a huge patch of Zinnias in full bloom and also some planters filled with mint that were both attractive to insects. I took some photos and then printed out a couple to drop off there they next time I went by. This was the first time I saw the Crabronid or Sand Wasps. I didn't even know about masked bees back then.
Fly on Zinnia at Recchia's organic farm/market.
Black bee, pale yellow mask and leg pattern, on garlic or onion flower.
There was a row of potted plants, and the mint was especially busy with wasps and some flies.
On oregano.
Recchias had a big bed of zinnias bordering their parking area.
