I don't know much about them, but males are tough to find. Here's the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelecinus 2008/8/11 Cindy Creighton <creighton@eastlink.ca> Hi All: We were over at a friend's place in Greenwood on Saturday and saw this weird bug in the garden and Jeff took a photo of it. The tail (which looks like it has a stinger) reminded me a bit of a scorpion. Does anyone know what this is? http://www.pbase.com/image/101524127 Cheers, Cindy Randy _________________________________ RF Lauff Way in the boonies of Antigonish County, NS. --Boundary_(ID_AvnYYQlQQJIm07lvmerlLg) Content-type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <html> <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=us-ascii"> <meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Word 10 (filtered)"> <style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Wingdings; panose-1:5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;} @font-face {font-family:Tahoma; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {color:blue; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:blue; text-decoration:underline;} p {margin-right:0in; margin-left:0in; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman";} span.EmailStyle18 {font-family:Arial; color:navy;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style> </head> <body lang=EN-US link=blue vlink=blue> <div class=Section1> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Thanks Randy </span></font><font size=2 color=navy face=Wingdings><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings; color:navy'>J</span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'> </span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'>-----Original Message-----<br> <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>From:</span></b> naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>On Behalf Of </span></b>Randy Lauff<br> <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Sent:</span></b> Monday, August 11, 2008 3:06 PM<br> <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>To:</span></b> naturens@chebucto.ns.ca<br> <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Subject:</span></b> Re: [NatureNS] Weird Scorpion-like Bug</span></font></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span></font></p> <div> <div> <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>This is a pelecinid wasp, a female.
