Wow! That's about all I have to say about this little wasp(?) right now.
I like the 'vise-grip' hind legs.

Wonderful photos, Scott.
These wasps don't always use their powerful legs for the good of the species. I shot one kicking another right in the face!

Thank you Ron!
The hind legs look like they'd pack a wallop for the small size.
