Is your second photo the young one of this? The shape, color and patterns look very similar, exceptthat thetailis missing in my photo.

Thanks Bkrownd for looking. If you move slow, you can get close when its early in the day and cool.

Thanks Fred, actually this was just the camera macro, handheld over my head. However, I do have the DCR150, but did not have it with me at the time.

Thanks Annie for looking. And yes, they can deliver a nasty sting, and worse if more than a few are after you.

Raghu, I am not sure that this is the same. As far as I know, this is an adult. They reach a total length of about 1 1/2 inch, with the tail being the longest part. Really not a very large insect in body. Wing spread might reach 1 inch. Now, this is just my observations.

Thanks for looking and commenting.
