A female tarantula hawk wasp takes nectar from a horsetail milkweed at the Southwestern Research Station in Arizona.

I should do more of these dreamy natural light shots. This one was with a 200m lens on a 2x teleextender.

Saw a bad-ass Tarantula-hawk Wasp at the refuge. I haven’t seen tarantulas around these parts, though. #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Pepsis #TarantulaHawkWasp

I'm not sure what's elegant about the Elegant Tarantula Hawk, Pepsis menechma. Males have antennae that look like someone stuck a pair of yellow foam pool noodles on its head. (New photo from Austin this weekend).
