Tiny vespid or sphecid or crabronid or ant or…
On the refrigerator last night. That “rope” on the left is the fine nylon cord of a small pair of binoculars.
The thing about this is this animal, just a couple millimeters long, the merest fraction of the weight of a stamp, contains generally all the same internal organs you and I do. Simpler, yes. But heart, lungs, circulatory system, stomach, intestines, nervous system, eyes, and what passes for brain.
Don’t know if it’s a male ant or some kind of wasp cousin. They’re all hymenoptera (membrane wing).
