pelecinid wasp - Pelecinus polyturator - Female
Topinabee, Cheboygan County, Michigan, USA
August 22, 2010
found at our summer vacation spot in Northern Michigan. Our property is part of a fairly large wooded area. was sitting on one of our lawn chairs and then moved to a nearby leaf. A slow flier, since I was able to follow it and take this picture as it landed on a leaf.
