Always a treat to see an American Pelecinid Wasp. And that's an ovipositor, not a stinger. ;-)

I'm glad you pointed out the lack of stinger. Too many people are scared of this wonderful wasp, with no good reason. Fantastic sharp image. V

Great sharp shot. Glad that's not a life size image.

Sharp closeup of this wasp. It may not be a stinger, but it's still scary looking to me.
