After tearing my hands apart in the thorny lemon tree, this guy appeared in my eyesight. He had to be almost 2 inches long and didn’t seem to mind that I was standing there. So I grabbed the phone and started taking pics. In fact, he seemed to want to stay close to the phone and when I left, he did. I don’t know what it is, so if someone out there knows, please post it in the comments, please.
I can truly say I got my bug on…
Til next time…

Looks like Pepsis or Hawk wasp. Beautiful creature!

You are right. Last night I found out from a friend it is a Tarantula Hawk. Very painful sting! I had no clue and glad my urge to touch it was disregarded. The things I do… ughghg
