glad that's working
I should probably update some of the pics on that. I'd gotten some new ones since, especially of males, mating, etc. They're all online here - cicada killer wasp photos

Absolutely astounding pics… thank goodness I do this for the pure fun of it. If I had to compete against you talent to make a living, I would starve.

Thanks for sharing.
