Field Notes

Description:

One of the largest wasps in the world. This individual was easily 3 inches long.

Resting on a overhang support beam in the middle of a bus stop run by a certain talking mouse.

Notes:

Truly incredible and somewhat intimidating face to face. None of the other people nearby even seemed to notice.
