Blue-winged Wasp (Scolia dubia), Jackson Park, Chicago, IL
-
This thing struck me as very odd. It looked like a wasp bit then I thought it was one of the weird classifications of moths I have been reading about in my field guide. It was fairly good size and looked much like a wasp with the thorax being striped with yellow. It just didn't have the build of a wasp. It feeding with a whole swarm of others like that small white bee I posted earlier. This one had it's wings to the sides just like a moth. I am somewhat baffled by what this could be but I am sure it might just be a moth.
