After some rain, I found these wasps or flies holding on to dried plants with their mandibles. I don't know what they are or why they are doing this, maybe they are trying to look like seedpods.
You can hear my mom in the background talking about a different wasp.
EDIT: Someone has identified these insects! They are a type of bee, Coelioxys slossoni slossoni: http://bugguide.net/node/view/120954/bgimage
I've never seen any like that! Cool. They sort of look like grasshoppers.
