Sleeping blue cuckoo bee, Thyreus sp.

I don't like to sleep alone :D
Blue banded bee
Hover wasp (Vespidae: Stenogastrinae)
Another sleeping bee
Mud-dauber wasp (Sceliphrinae; Chalybion sp.)
Scoliidae wasp
Larrinae under the family Crabronidae. This could be a Liris sp. or another genus such as Tachytes; the specimen will be needed for identification.(IDed by: Vespa bicolor)
The same sleeping wasp
As you can see, some of them sleep by locking their mandibles onto the perches/plants while the others just rest on the perches. All taken with a 40D, MP-E65, MT-24EX and DIY concave diffuser, full flash.

An amazing collection, Kurt! How I envy the diversity you have in Malaysia.
