Not so tiny really - at least 3/4 inch in length. I actually don't yet know what this is, but it does kind of look like it could destroy the Empire!

    Wonderful capture
    Not sure what it is either but would guess on a solitary predatory wasp.

    Thank you Brian. I think you're right - it is some kind of wasp. I just haven't narrowed it down.

    You know, everytime I got that close it wanted to show me it's other end. I wasn't sure how to take that... ne_nau.gif

    You're sure right about looking intimidating. Most bugs are just interesting up close - this one looks evil!
