Spotted this lady resting on one of our plastic lawn chairs. Looks like a formidable stinger, but I think its actually an ovipositor (not sure of spelling) for burying eggs, either in the ground or....err, inside prey. Haven't been able to get an actual ID on her, any Entomologists around??

I can feel the sting from here! eeeeeeeeeeeeekkk!!! run away!!!

I don't know but she is very pretty.

Wow, great shot. I wouldn't want a feel of the stinger though.

That sure looks different from the ones we have here.
