Unknown Critter! - Triorla interrupta
Hesston, Kansas, Kansas, USA
July 30, 2017
Size: Maybe 1 1/2 to 2 inches
I found this guy right sitting on our walkway right outside of our house/front porch in the middle of the afternoon. I've never seen anything like it! It's almost like a cross between an ant, spider, and wasp. I can't think of anything "remarkable" to say about it, other than it could fly but stayed pretty still in that same spot for a while, even when I was close to it. I'd love it if someone could identify it for me. Thank you!!
