I went back to the FWG this afternoon, hoping to see the American Snout butterfly. No luck, but I was actually even more excited to see this huge Pelecinid wasp near the Ash Woods. She landed right in front of me (talk about luck!). I had told Jeewa some weeks ago that I hoped one day to see this common (but not commonly seen) wasp at the FWG, and there she was. That long stinger-like thing is her abdomen. She does not have a stinger. It is unfortunate that people see these wasps and mistake the long thin abdomen for a vicious stinger. These wasps are as gentle as can be. The males are tiny and are rarely seen, leading some folk in times past to assume that there was no male of the species!
