Cicada Killer Wasp (or NOT!)

At least I'm pretty sure about ID. Took this in late evening when I found it sleeping on a plant on our patio table. Cicada killers are supposed to be non-aggressive.
Oops! Forgot to check store original.

Excellent DOF & composition. I do, however, feel it's about one stop under-exposed-- which is an easy fix. You've done the hard part!

I guess he's about an inch long. He looks like he could zap you good, but they're really not bad bugs...just to cicadas :-) Thanks, Marilyn.Oh my Goodness! what a capture..How big is this Dixie- he looks huge! Very nice..

It might have been one of his last nights before the cold gets to him.

The cold has incapacitated the fly's near the stalls. They were hanging all over the outside walls 3 days ago. I saw nothing today.
