This is what the winged Male wasps are flying around and searching for in my yard. Also called Velvet Ants. The females are wingless.

Very good. I know how hard it is to get a close up on these, as they are runrunrun.

Thanks.... I had him on my firepit table. Every time it stopped, I'd go around to the side it was on and off it would go again.... One or two keepers out of about 20 attempts...

I spent half the day trying to get a good shot of a rather large specimen. No luck .like said they run run run. I even tried chilling which left it in unnatural position and once it warmed up. Run run run. Never felt but heard they really have a painful sting

I tried the chilling as well and felt the same. Unnatural looking. Once it warmed up, yeah, it ran almost constantly. When it did stop, it was normally farter away from me and when I went around the table, it would take off again.... I finally managed a clear shot of it.

Very, very nice. I've yet to see a female so thanks for sharing yours (wait...I didn't mean it to sound that way).
