I present: a Pepsis playing darts with a Cameronella.

When I first discovered the existence of Cameronella, I couldn't believe my eyes! I just knew a comic had to be done at that point. Here is a playful Pepsis playing a game of darts with her Cameronella friend. (No wasps were hurt in the making of this comic). #Pepsis #Cameronella

In PR (Vieques) on a most lovely vacation w/my wife, she spotted this spectacular tarantula hawk #wasp. Luckily it was cooperative enough for me to get pics ☺️ There were some attractive tarantulas on the island, too, likely the wasp's prey.
