I always see these sleeping in the leaves at a certain tree in my yard at the end of the day. Just curious to what they are.

Thanks,
Charles

Recently I have been seeing these on certain weeds along the canal in my back yard as well . I submitted a couple of images but they weren't as good as this one.

this is scolia nobilitata, ma
this is scolia nobilitata, males are usually the ones seen sleeping like this. If your lucky you can find a whole group in a cluster.
