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.

First encounter with Aupoplus carbonarius (male). Well... not a living one, but anyhow. Its range is a bit southerly compared to where I'm situated.
