This was the first time I saw those insects! I am usually not afraid of getting closer to a bee or a bumblebee, but those looked mean. They are shaped like a wasp, maybe slightly more massive, But instead of the yellow they are orange. They are also pretty fast - wasp like fast.
I think I saw them flying into some holes in an old cut tree stump.
Anyone knows what they are?

Here few of them were feeding on a cabbage flowers. As I sat quietly I notice that some were only interested in the flowers and some looked like they were trying to scared the off?
A territorial war maybe?

As a side note - please admire for a second those blooms! Who would have thought a cabbage can bloom so pretty!
And there are always flying insects around. Bees, bumblebees, butterflies (to lay more eggs I bet), flies...
Such gorgeous white wall of flowers.
