The lumpy wasp (Cerceris) captures small goldenrods, weevils, and leaf beetles, paralyzing them. These wasps often live in large colonies. The entire surface in such places is covered with craters of discarded earth, and the soil at a shallow depth, like a sponge, is pitted with wasp burrows.
The picture was taken in the Astrakhan region
