#bigwasp

Not a bee at all. The >inch-long megabug, Sphex ichneumoneus, AKA the great golden digger wasp. An insect so big and colorful that even the least nature-inclined passerby gives notice. It looks big and bad but that's all a show. Like most of the world's 30,000 wasp species, it's pretty gentle unless handled roughly. When it's not sipping the nectar of sea holly (as in this photo) it's out collecting crickets, katydids, and grasshoppery things to provision their nests. A really great bug to welcome into the garden. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#wasp #greatgoldendiggerwasp #pollinator #seaholly #found_on_flowers #macroworld_tr #macro_perfection #mat_macro #insects_of_our_world #bugs #bigwasp #kings_insects #macroclique #macro_x #pollinatorgarden #goodbugs #canon80d #raynoxdcr150 #canon60mmmacro

Okay, all of you budding entomologists ... What is this beast? A wasp? A hornet? . . Kev pulled it out of the pool filter. . .It's curled up, but if it were stretched out, it would likely be at least 1.5" long. It has a very wide abdomen, a fat waist, red body and wings, and those yellow spots. It would be pretty, if it didn't have a stinger! . . My first thought was murder hornet, of course, but that's not right. 😅 Cicada Killer Wasp maybe? 🤔 But the patterns don't seem to match anything I've found on Google. And that yellow "nose" ... What say you all? . . . . . #bigwasp #westtexas #bugs #insects #idthisbug #wasps #hornets #entomology #whatisthis #whatisthisbug #thankyou (at Meador Draw Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCXRe2opDTl/?igshid=xtmq1cv8soa

These things are in my yard. Cicada Killing Wasps - apparently won’t hurt you unless you try to harm them or step on them. Neither of which I plan to do #cidadakillingwasps #fiddlersgreenfarm #whatthehellisthat #bigwasp #reallybigwasp #thatisnotmyfingerholdingthatbigasswasp (at Afton, Virginia)
