Re: The Nature Photography Thread
Huh.
Dunno then. Probably not a member of Vespidae.

Re: The Nature Photography Thread
Perhaps it is a wasp-mimic moth...the tuft at the end of the abdomen and the antenae don't look right for a wasp. My insect guide does not have a picture of that particular one though...

Re: The Nature Photography Thread
My kids did 4H entomology projects (with my help) so I have seen some interesting insects, but there are so many insects that I am by NO means an expert. It just reminds me of some of the clear-wing moths we have around here.

Re: The Nature Photography Thread
OMG... So that huge "wasp" last weekend... May have been a moth. x.x
Oh well, not taking any chances. We have to many flying stingy and biting things around here anyways.
