Thisbe’s Tarantula-hawk Wasp
I was out pruning the fig tree and notices a large critter on a fig above me. To my surprise it was this handsome wasp! I’d never seen one in person before so I was quite excited to see it chewing away on the over-ripe figs. Of course I submitted the photo to iNaturalist. #wasp #tarantulahawk #figtree

A female tarantula hawk wasp takes nectar from a horsetail milkweed at the Southwestern Research Station in Arizona.
I should do more of these dreamy natural light shots. This one was with a 200m lens on a 2x teleextender.

Mystery wasp/hornet of the day. Almost 2 inches long. #insects (Update: This is a #TarantulaHawk... which means I apparently ALSO have a #tarantula living in my backyard somewhere -- that might explain the mystery tarantula-sized hole that was in my back the other day)

I'm not sure what's elegant about the Elegant Tarantula Hawk, Pepsis menechma. Males have antennae that look like someone stuck a pair of yellow foam pool noodles on its head. (New photo from Austin this weekend).

Paralyzed juvenile tarantula.
I took it home.
It may be paralyzed for months.
I gave it water today. After it drank it lifted a fang up. I'm hoping that's a good sign.
