A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Have always loved Nature, and love looking around where ever I go to see what interesting animals, birds or plants I might find.

Sign In to followThank you Neil for the link and the compliment. I had seen the name elephant mosquito before, but it was always listed for another variety from the same family found in Asia. I like the name Mosqutio Eater so I'll use that :-)
Thank you Mark. I did have my doubts, about what I thought it was. I will make the corrections.
Thank you Michael. Yes I did see cicadas flying around the top of one of the trees in my garden several days earlier, but couldn't see what type they were clearly as it was getting dark, and yes they certainly are rather noisy :-)
Thank you Neil. Was a pleasant surprise since it was my first spotting upload for quite awhile
Thank you Maria. I agree the first picture is the better of the three.
Thank you Mark. I will try and not make the same mistake again. Thank you for the nomination which is a pleasant surprise.
Thank You very much Mark for the ID
Beautiful looking insect.
I have to correct my previous comment. I had totally forgotten that I'd previously posted photos of this wasp from a sighting in 2016.
