The greatest discoveries have come from people who have looked at a standard situation and seen it differently.

I am calling this a wasp - but the truth is - I really don't know what this is. ID Help is appreciated.

I don't know what it is either. My guess is that it's in the bee/wasp/pollen gatherers category though! LOL And, whatever it is, you sure got a beautiful shot of it!!
I'm of no help...sorry but you got a great shot of it!
At first I thought it looked like some kind of fly until I noticed the stinger. No clue what it is though. Hope someone out there in Bloggyland has the answer for you.
Very cool shot of an interesting looking insect! Hope someone can assist you with the identification.
Sorry, can't help with the identification either. But this is one nice macro shot.
Hi kerri...Lovely colors in a nice shot!!
I have seen then around, but don't know what it is!!

Oh, my. He's beautiful...but I kind of hope he impales himself. Is that evil? One less sting for the world.
wow! fabulous colors! wonder if he's a type of mud dawber. we get some blue/black ones here.
I didn't know wasps had this beautiful coloring, midnight sky wings, and velvet legs. I love that one of it's legs is hold on to the stem.
Great capture, great quote.
Thank you.
Beautiful colour on the wings. Sorry I don't know what it is but the picture is great.
i've got nothing but the critter is cute!!
Beautiful color. I'm not much help either on what it is.
No clue but you are too close!
Oh wow excellent details :-)
I don't know what it is either,but what a cracking shot. That thorn looks lethal.
I have no idea what this could be but you sure have blown me away with this macro. Brilliant macro work
Not sure what insect this is, but you've captured some fantastic color and details Kerri!
I don't know either. whatsthatbug.com is great for identification. And I think they'd really appreciate your photos.
Gosh ~ that is a strange looking insect! But you captured it beautifully!
