Hi all:
=20
I tried to get a picture of a wasp/beetle that I saw at Keji Seaside Adjunc=
t Yesterday.  It took off and went deep into some foilage before I could sn=
ap the shutter.  I've not seen this particular beast before.  It was very l=
arge=2C about 1 in or close to it.  All black=2C but very thin with a brigh=
t orange abdomen.  In some ways it reminded me of a fake wasp=2C but in oth=
er respects of a large bettle of some sort.  Any ideas from those with an i=
nsect background?
