Tarantula Hawk Wasp...

Took this shot from a distance, as this Wasp was foraging on some berries nectar along with many Bees.
The sting of this Wasp is one of the most painful insect bites in the World-comparable pain to a Rattlesnake bite. The female of this species of Wasp, kill Tarantulas and other Spiders with ease.
No Spider is a match for this Wasp.
Lucky me that I got this shot, unscathed!!!

Good detail for a far away and safe distance shot.

Yeah... NO! Hard pass but thanks to you - I can see the evil thing up close in all his glory from more than a safe distance!
