huttoniaDescription
He's so cute but so hard to photograph! Whenever he rested in a perfect position, I would get ready to take a photo, but then he would decide to look away from the camera. I am not as satisfied with the photos as I had hoped (I spent literally 4 hours trying to get photos of him), but some is better than none! Unfortunately, it was windy, cold, and our friendly neighborhood cat kept following me around, so I had to continuously relocate while photographing this stubborn little guy!

This observation is not for the insect, but for the fungus that appears to have killed it. I found this wasp already dead, missing its wings and apparently clinging to a plant with its jaws even in death.
A separate observation for the wasp can be found here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/190519624

Growing in the same location as observation 454185 and observation 454187. Outside of the Northeast corner of Kottman Hall. Growing abundantly under the soil at the base of a Tilia sp. Quercus rubra nearby. Some ascocarps had been excavated and partially eaten by Sciurus carolinensis. Ascocarps up to 35.7 mm wide. Peridium verrucose. Texture firm. Strong pungent odor, described as being like “broccoli with soy sauce” by P. Brandon Matheny and students. I would agree with this description but add that it had a note of garlic.
