Tarantula Wasp?
This bugger about 1 1/2 – 2 inches long red winged giant ant looking thing has been hanging out on the wall in front of my house for the last few hrs This thing is creepy but leave it up to me to get in something’s face that scares me :-p I live in Anthem, AZ (30 min from Phoenix). I looked through your site and I found an entry that looked like mine the Tarantula Wasp. It’s a bit odd I would think they were nocturnal maybe it’s sick/dieing?i took plenty of pictures feel free to post however many. Take care,
Sue

Hi Sue,
Your Tarantula Hawk photos are quite nice. They are diurnal and visit flowers, especially milkweed.
