Mammoth Wasp

Never seen one of these in the wild before but I followed this one for a few hundred meters. To my surprise, it was actually pretty placid - I'd done some research on them so knew that despite their fearsome reputation and the fact they are huge and terrifying looking, it was quite a nice creature. The sheer size of it was awesome. Pity I couldn't get a closer shot but the bush was too deep and I wasn't about to go diving into it after the hornet ;)
