It took off and went deep into some foilage before I could snap the shutter. I've not seen this particular beast before. It was very large, about 1 in or close to it. All black, but very thin with a bright orange abdomen. In some ways it reminded me of a fake wasp, but in other respects of a large bettle of some sort. Any ideas from those with an insect background?<br> <dd> <br> <dd>James R. Hirtle<br> <dd>Bridgewater<br><br> </dl></blockquote></body> </html>
