wow, that looks cool!
prett sure it's a wasp, though it does look kind of ant-ish.

eewww... looks evil!

oh, it's got a desert stinger, much neurotoxin/tissue damage- ow and itchy for you , paralytic juice-draining goodness for others.....

if ya think yer getting old, and still like to look at bugs up close, then yer really getting younger.....that and touch snakes and frogs when you see them.....

Or in choggie's case just pick up and lick the frogs till you get a surprise

It does look like a hybrid flying ant

It's not an ant. It's a wasp mimicing an ant. To tell if it is an ant, it needs angular antennae, not curve/straight.

^mmmm...but I bet that thorax still turns you on.

rottenseed: Nope. It is food to me.
