Description
[Family Scoliidae - Scoliid Wasps - Genus Campsomeris- my best guess]
Seen a lot of these large wasps yesterday at the wetlands. These guys are BIG! About 2 inches long. Thick and robust. They are not to jumpy around my presence, but I am jumpy around theirs. They scare me... ;-)
Thanks for looking.
