Thank you so much for your lovely words. I love photography and capturing insects in particular - but I've never actually invested in a good camera - I plan to soon! Yeah Scorpion flies are definitely pretty scary evil looking - although I just think they're badass🤘 and totally harmless! I hadn't ever heard of Cavalo-do-cão but I just looked it up - that is an absolute beast of a wasp! do you have them where you live? Are you in Brasil? And they parasitise spiders 😱 So cool. Parasitoid wasps are probably my favourite group of insects - they are stunningly elegant in their physiology! And super important for their ecology. Thanks for showing me this, it's made my day!

Oh thanks so much for the reply :)
Well, thank the gods I haven't seen those wasps around here. But on a little trip I took years ago, I ended up seeing one up close. Believe me, I was really scared and ran away xD
I would be way more scared of the spider its laying its eggs in! Those extra two legs send them way off the top of the creepiness scale 🕷️😳
