[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Scolia flavifrons, Mammoth Wasp

this monstrous wasp as long as your finger. but she's nearly not stinging, she is slow mowing and too rigid to bend her body to attack with a sting. quite rare and very atractive insect, the real prize for any naturalist to see it.
