Not the best of shots, but I spotted this wasp (?) crawling around in the grass today while out with my dog. This was the only shot of it I got before it flew off. ID pending from Bug Guide...

So far, the consensus is that it's a Scoliid Wasp, likely Triscolia sp.

I tried getting close to a set of bee's a few weeks ago and ended up getting stung!  Nice close up you got!

Are you using a 105mm or 100mm?
