AKA Cow Killer due to their painful sting. Actually a wasp

They're fast little buggers and this was the best focus that I was able to get on the stones.

My little sisters would watch for them when they came out after the rains, then smash them and put the 'stuff' on their lips and call it lipstick!!!
When they were older they'd naff about it and wonder how they could do it.

Wow. I don't know how they could do that either. The things women go through for beauty.

Nice images, I've only seen a couple of these but I can attest to the sting being painful. However I handled the first one quite a bit before I provoked him into stinging me so I do not think they are aggressive.

Thanks Dan. I never felt at all threatened by this one so you're probably right about them not being aggressive.
