Parasitic Wasp Help

Discovered a bunch of these parasitic wasps flying all around my mason bee houses this morning. Should I go ahead and move them inside? I thought we were supposed to leave them outside until fall. Thank you.

First occupant

Coming home from work in the sweltering heat today I just saw this young lady dilligently installing the front door to her new dwelling. Life is beautiful.

Leafcutter bee occupant!

Hi bee friends! My partner just noticed this new leaf plug in my bee hotel! I got very excited because I started planting native wildflowers this year and it’s the first year I’ve had an occupant in the bee hotel. Can you confirm if it’s a typical plug for a leafcutter mason bee? Thanks!
