I was excited to capture a huge tarantula hawk wasp enjoying some milkweed this week. He was pretty annoyed by my flash so I did not push my luck considering these guys are reported to have one of the most painful stings of all invertebrates. I took a couple of shots and then left him to enjoy his flowers.:) On a sad note, the Springs Preserve butterfly habitat will be closing for the season. The temps are now reaching 100F so we will be re-opening the butterfly habitat in the fall. Bye bye until next time butterflies!
