holy crap! that thing is wicked! [M2]
Looks like a cross between a wasp and a cicada killer. Never seen that before.
We always called them "Stump Humpers" because they are always laying their eggs on the bark of trees. They are a type of wasp and I've seen them almost 2" long. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be stung by one!
It's a wood wasp. Looks like a urocerus gigas flavicornis, yellow-horned horntail. The larvae bore into the wood. The ovipositor on the backside is for laying eggs and is not a stinger.
...but I'm no expert and I could be wrong.
"Name that bug..."
OK, I here by name thee, Orville :)
We are not worthy "Oh AR-15 Bugologist" [Wow2]Quote:
