Many of you know that I live in a beautiful woodland. This is our dream location, we both love everything about the woods. (Except I am not fond of snakes!)If you notice the photo on my homepage, you can see what I am talking about. That is the lane that winds up to our driveway. It is just gorgeous here in northern Michigan.
But there are critters in those woods. We see deer and turkey and squirrels and chipmunks and flying squirrels and raccoons, and I'm pretty sure I saw a bear a few months back. DH heard coyotes a while back, and there are fox everywhere! It's part of the charm of the place. We are communing with nature! So here's the bug I found outside a few days ago. Anybody ever seen anything like it? It is sort of freaking me out, to be honest. Do we have some alien bug culture here, or what?!
I hope you can see it, that's as big as I could get the picture. So I am asking for your help. What is this fascinating new inhabitant of our peaceful woods?

I think it's a mutant - RUN
A dear friend tells me these are not uncommon in her neck of the woods, though this particular one looks a bit different than the ones in Virginia. She says this is a scorpion wasp and they are good because they eat bugs!!
