Day 30 - August 5, 2010

Logan and I were taking a walk this afternoon and saw two critters. One was dead (and quite freaky looking - it was an Easter Cicada Killer wasp) and the other was an injured bumble bee. Only had my phone on me, so bare with the not so crisp imagery.

Here's our injured friend, whom we moved off the sidewalk. He graciously climbed onto a stick and we set him aside next to a tree.

And now the scary looking wasp... Apparently, despite looking pretty darn fearsome at nearly 2" long, they aren't aggressive to humans and will fly away when swatted at. Only the female (shown here) has a stinger. Oh, and yes, as their name implies, they like a nice cicada for dinner.
