My butterfly garden

Does anyone know what this is? I sure hope he doesn't know how to sting!
It is a new visitor to my butterfly garden. This photo also
shows how much prettier flowers are when photographed without the blazing sun. The color of
the flower is so much prettier than on my butterfly photos in the sun.

If you have a chance to look, I made a gallery of butterflies in my garden today....I know there
were over twenty species, but I did not get them all.

Sure looks like a wasp to me, and yes, they do sting. It certainly has brought that extra bit of colour to your garden!

Looks like some type of wasp, but I'm not sure! Very interesting but I wouldn't take any chances. I think he is dressed up for Halloween!
