| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| This big Golden Digger Wasp - Sphex ichneumoneus - hunts large crickets, which it parayzes to feed its brood. It's more than one inch long, but completely harmless, unless you handle it. |

Hello Philippe,
Wonderful capture.POV,colors,sharpness and composition are excellent.TFS
Hi Philippe,
it's a very interesting insect, I love the colours, it looks dangerous even if you tell that it's harmless.
Wonderful shot, I realy like it, thanks

Good composition and colors. I like your note.
Quote - "harmless, unless you handle it."
Yes! Even the rattlesnakes are harmless if you stay as far as possible from them.
The problem is that us, nature photographers, can't do that , we just can't help it.
Regards, Petru
