These odd little wasps with their rounded off abdomens are really fast and quite small. I kept getting a glimps of those blue eyes and decided I neeeded a photo. The little guy in the bottom left corner was sort of a last minute addition. Not nearly as amusing there as he was when I editied. lol Thanks.
They are a wide spread species indeed. I believe there are some similar carpenter bees out there as well. They have beautiful eyes if you catch them in the right light. Quite docile.
Thanks! Consistantly good ant photos ellude me. lol As you are well aware, taking too much time to perfect your ant photography technique can be quite painfull.
Thank you, Jim. Been so busy at work I am just now getting to last august's photos. Commonly known as the tarantula hawk wasp. Photos were taken at Tohono Chul Park here in Tucson.
Please wait...
