Look What I Found Today!

Texas Canyon, Dragoon, Arizona

I went out to the bigger pond on my lunch hour and had a wonderful time enjoying Nature.
This is just one of the treasures I found. I'm not sure if that is pollen or hair all over it, or both.
I posted it on www.bugguide.net to find it is a female Scoliid Wasp.

1/2000s f/8.0 at 300.0mm iso500 full exif
