Scary Buggers

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

These wasps are real enough, but they also give you some idea of the sort of thing I get to see when I have a high fever.

Who needs drugs in a brave new world that has such creatures in it?

That last one is a Megarhyssa superba, very, very rare, you probably saw it here first.

Thanks for watching!

Congratz, your post has been resteemed and, who knows, will maybe appear in the next edition of the #dailyspotlights (Click on my face if you want to know more about me...)

LoL...They don't seem so friendly! 100% adrenaline to every click! Great job! (;

These aren't aggressive and they can't sting like regular wasps, but they are parasitic in a way as they deposit eggs next to other insects' larvae that then get eaten. Not very nice.

Its like they are showing off who has long thingie :p

Note that only the females of these species have the thingie you mention.

And I thought it's the boys that show off...

Those are some seriously cool wasps! So often, you can observe without fear as you have shown here. Thanks for sharing!
