Another gorgeous tarantula hawk wasp rescued from our doggie pool. Extreme close up of fascinating grooming behavior - a real contortionist - before it takes off again. Oh, and there's a dog named Tara...

  • She's missing a couple of legs, what happened?

  • I'm not sure. Was that way when I got her out of the pool so it must have happened before she got in it. I just place a stick in the water and let them crawl up on to it, so I don't think it's anything I did, hopefully.

  • lol i can hear the dog in the backround, what breed is it?

  • Her mother was full-blood German Shepherd and we think her father was a Pit - so shepherd/pit mix. She's a great dog! Thanks for the comment !

  • Beautiful.

  • Thanks.  I've got more and better on the way!

  • @CyberSpark6 she's the dog , doggirl or doggygirl maybe ;)

  • @YearZer02022 Subjective opinion only in "study" what was order of species tested? Was BA tested first? See? As different stings taken, antibodies built up in circulation are already there to mollify effects of other stings "tested," to extent that venoms are similar (MUCH overlap of chemicals). That was a "study" that cannot be relied on. Bullet ant decisively NOT the most severe outranked by THawk, red/black cow killer, puss caterpillar, bulldog ant Jap hornet according to med issues!!

  • that was in my back yard one day

  • @waywardmuse

    Tarantula Hawks have the 2nd most painful sting out of every single species of insects, spiders, ants, and scorpions on the planet, while the Bullet Ant ranks 1st.

    The pain is so bad it causes people to vomit from the pain. ;p

  • lol i was stupid, i found one in the dog water and it looked dead.

    i brought it in and thru it in the trash.( stupid me) the next morning, my mom found it on her chest and freaked out!! im deathly afraid of anything that flys and have stingers, so i was like " hell no, i aint gettin near that!!"

    lol
