I am fascinated by tarantula hawks, the first time I saw one flying I thought it was a black humming bird! I’ve watched one hunt a tarantula and drag it 25 yards across a yard to it’s layer. The deep blue black and contrasting copper wings are visually stunning. Oh yeah and the second most painful sting right behind the bullet ant, right in my own middle American suburban back yard!


Tarantula hawks are my favorite insect.
