HOLY MOLY, Val! This image is over-the-top AWESOME! :-) K #8792008Lorraine A. Cook 7/28/2010 5:44:56 PM
DOUBLE WOW! PHENOMENAL details in this INCREDIBLE macro, Valarie!!<:))Cicada killer wasps took over my backyard five years ago. They are very, very territorial and chase other insects away...like butterflies and dragonflies. They try to chase me away...but I've learned how to deal with them. My chocolate lab, Lucky, will snap at them!
I tried to provide Professor Chuck Holliday's Cicada Killer Wasp page...but am having trouble copying it. For three years...I captured the wasps and their paralyzed cicadas and sent them to the Professor to help with his research that spanned 20 years.
I'm recovering from surgery...so my computer time is somewhat limited...for now.
Have a wonderful evening!!<:)) #8792094

It's one of those "duh days"...am stalled for a title...but can't help looking at this and thinking how happy this guy looks hanging out in the lily pond in the early morning and warming up his flight muscles for about a thousand buzz-arounds the lily pond at Zilker Botanical Gardens here in Austin....
