Aaaggh!

I am not kidding you. I just saw what looks like a 3 inch bee. I was walking out front looking at the garden and saw this huge thing fly by. Thought maybe it was a couple of dragon flys mating and saw it land over on the side of the raised bed. Then got a look at it - no lie. That thing was huge and had yellow stripes like a bee. I practicaly ran in the house!

I looked it up - had to have either been a "wood wasp" or a "cicada killer wasp". GAH! Oh my goodness. Have been seeing some pretty large ones out on the deck on but this one is like bee-zilla!

p.s. sorry if this is in the wrong forum - not sure where I shoulda posted it
