I’ll be glad if you can identify this guy for me – the more I looked at it as I selected shots to send, the more beautiful I realized it is – what rather Aztec coloring it has! The day I took the photos was the only day I’ve ever seen this kind of beetle down here although I’m sure they are around at other times. If you know of a good Internet link about them please send it to me as well. Thanks!!! Best regards,

Hi Ridge and Rick,
These are Giant Mesquite Bugs, Thasus acutangulus. These are immature specimens. The adults have wings. The wasp is a Paper Wasp
