I watched this Thread Waisted Wasp (Ammophilia Proceia) buzzing around in the Golden Rod. That Thin connection between the thorax and the abdomen is really something to wonder over. Does it allow the abdomen to move freely and lay eggs or perhaps sting others independent of the rest of the body?
Need to get an Entomology book and brush up on the fundamentals.

Love it!

Hi and thanks. Pulling out the macro lens is always like going on a bit of a journey into a smaller world and one I should take more often as I always find something new there.
