Seeing Red! (Camera Critters)


Until a few days ago, I had never seen a bug like this!

It flies, it buzzes, it digs in the bark, and it's very, very big! It's probably a beetle, but I avoided the critter as if it was a mad, mad hornet. If you know this bug, please let me know!

(This photo was taken with a zoom lens at a safe distance, then heavily cropped.)

That's a darn good photo with a zoom lens! I dunno what this is, either, but I don't think it would do you harm - unless you were "bark"-ing!

I have no idea, but it's best to steer clear until you know!

If I saw it, it would be a dead bug.
