In the wood pile

It is nice, what is it?

lol asking the same question, what is it?

Honestly I don't have a clue what it is. I've only seen them around here in the last year or two. They aren't aggressive either.

I got a new bug book last week and thankfully you are in North America so I can look up your gorgeous fellow. I think it is a ichneumon wasp. It is a female and the book says they search out trees or logs of hardwoods.

Thanks Sarah! I appreciate the info.

Don' like it, might have know it wasp! .. it is good pic tho Charlie...

Way cool. Never seen anything like it.
