Thanks Bug Eric! - Tremex columba

For ID this Horntail Wasp. Here is picture for you. This is horntail wasp in action, as you described it to me. I hope you will enjoy it. :-)

Did we establish a specific id for this one?
If so I'll create/move this to a guide page.

 
Female pigeon tremex horntail, Tremex columba, family Siricidae.
Female pigeon tremex horntail, Tremex columba, family Siricidae. That what I have got from Bug Eric. I have know clue, that is why I visit this website. I like macro photography. :-)

Is this your pic, Charles?
I ask because it appears to show a copyright for someone else. If not, then we'll need to remove it because unless you obtained
permission we're undoubtedly violating the owner's copyright. I realize you probably didn't intend to do anything wrong, but we need to be careful about this type of thing.

 
I took this picture today.
Yes, it is mine picture and the name on it is mine too. :-)

 
Great
That's an awesome pic and we're glad to have it!

 
Yes it is!
Truly awesome wasp!
