Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Name that bug...
So I took this pic when we were camping recently. I think it was laying eggs. Bummer for her because she layed them in my fire wood. So what the heck is it?
ETA: It was friggin huge
holy crap! that thing is wicked!
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.
Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

Now if we could only train it to kill the pine beetle, we just might have something.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
