No doubt about Juan's I.D. suggestion. He is correct. These are some of the worst stinging wasps we have here in Costa Rica. They have drawn blood from me every time they sting.

Yikes that thing is huge. Great find.

Nests, hives, webs, tracks, bones, etc, in short, structures and signs of wildlife belong in the same category as the organism that made or left them. I moved this to Arthropods for you :-)
